Mike Brown Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was at the game and I was embarrassed. Our fans suck So was I. And I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMazz Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) You can't have everything you want. From what I heard tonight it's like 10 people vs everyone else on this issue. Sooner or later the minority will lose out. Clear as day what the majority of fans thought of the change tonight and because they didn't buy into the change you're "embarassed". Get out of here. Have fun cheering along to something with zero beat. Edited October 5, 2013 by TheMazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Because fans like what they like and hate this forced trash? Also to the above. LOL I'd love Fandangoing along to the goals but I'm certain most people won't have a clue who Fandango is. Because our team hears boos after they score a goal at home? One thing to disagree with the change but to boo is pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 dude you need to calm down its a game, the fans were not booing at the team, they want the old song back. I guess you never been to a big time D1 football game because its a lot worse Not the point. I don't really care what the fans were booing. Booing at all after a goal is ridiculous. Not liking the goal song is no reason to boo after a Devils goal. It's a song. Are you worried Bon Jovi's feelings are hurt because we booed his song? I don't think it could've been more obvious that it was THE SONG being booed and not the team. When the goal scorers were announced, everyone cheered loudly as usual, it was just booing at the end of the song. A sh!tty song got booed and deservedly so. Nothing more, nothing less. The song was changed for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) It wasn't really changed for good reason, unless they dressed up the strippers better this season. It's window dressing. Not something I care about, because my hours mean I'll probably go to 3 games this season, but it's kind of funny. They probably got 50 complaints, made the change, and will get 1,500 complaints in return. Hell, I bet I'll be able to go to a youtube of the song tomorrow and there will be a bunch of complaints on there.

TheMazz Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Because our team hears boos after they score a goal at home? One thing to disagree with the change but to boo is pathetic I'll agree that they could have gone about that differently...like actually chanting the Hey You Suck! chant in protest instead of full on booing to avoid mass confusion. But hell I boo'ed too. Not at the team (although their play tonight certainly deserved it with a few bright spots) it was a caught up in the moment thing. I wouldn't be shocked if fans do something other then boo next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWW Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Because our team hears boos after they score a goal at home? One thing to disagree with the change but to boo is pathetic But how else is a fanbase supposed to show disagreement? I've heard multiple people say this but what's the alternative? There's no more effective way to voice an opinion than what was done tonight. I'm all for it. Our crowd has an identity now and it's that we're not gonna get pushed around in our own arena, whether it be by opposing fans or our own management and I for one think it's fantastic.

oofrostonoo Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yelling "You Suck" after scoring a goal isn't offensive because "suck" is a bad word. It is offensive because it's not creative, not funny, low class and ends up being yelled regardless if we're winning or not. This dumb chant makes me think our fan base has a bunch of people like this in the stands. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/294/980/6b5.jpg Celebrate the goal with the team, cheer them on. R&R pt 2 was a great goal song but "you suck" is why we can't have nice things. Chant Lundqvist sucks or Flyers suck all you want, but try not to celebrate a goal like an idiot just because there is a mob doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWW Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There was no reason to voice any opinion tonight. It's just a song! Clearly the majority of people feel differently. I always used to hear a few scattered complaints about "you suck" but tonight was most of the crowd reacting to something they disagreed with. We were all paying customers, we have the right to voice an opinion. If it's "just a song", then why do you seem so STRONGLY against it? Try to see another point of view sometime. It's an interesting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I was actually sitting there dreading whether we'd be booing the thing if someone scored an OT winner. What an embarassment THAT would have been. And it's funny all these people that supposedly hate 'you suck'...none of them came to the game tonight.

Never mind the strippers and the never ending parade of drunks, we can't have the word "suck" be uttered Mindboggling to me considering it's a SYNONYME FOR STINKS!!! "Sucks" is as non-offensive as you can get. It's like "ass" or "damn" or "Hell" (no pun intended) if you think "sucks" is a bad word these days...in 2013 you need to come outside more often.

At least that is yelled randomly and not as a celebration ritual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the strippers and the never ending parade of drunks, we can't have the word "suck" be uttered It's not the word itself. It's the fact we use the phrase "you suck" as a way to celebrate a goal, and it's stupid. And if you think the dancers resemble strippers, I'd like to know what strip clubs you go to. I'm not a fan of the dancers either. But who cares? Those girls love dancing, and they get a chance to do it professionally. You don't have to look at them if you don't want to.
