Fans of LSU football and the Saints for longer than the last ten years can relate
Hell I wish those games would have more cheers/songs to drown out the "analysis" in the stands
Will never forget LSU fans bashing Miles in his first year for playing Laron Landry. "Hes awful. Saban never would have played him."

Well, for example... they are doing all of this singing and whatnot in the stands right now...
I would compare US soccer fans singing/chanting with baseball fans singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", but that's more to stave off boredom than to actually cheer on your team.

Well unless you were in Nashville at the Vandy game in my section, you wouldn't.

Who cares? Professional sports fans in Amerca blow fricking arse. They don't stand, they do jack shite during 75% of the game, they embrace the moronic extreme commercialism of traditional sports that should value their history.
I'm so happy that soccer fans in the states are involved. I'm glad they have adopted traditions of European "supporters." As far as everyone else, enjoy your lame arse blasting of rock music between plays and the oh so original "here we go (insert team name), here we go, *clap clap*."
Good post.
Like I said I don't think anyone is "faking" anything.
I do think they are trying too hard but it's just because they are trying to make up for the insecurity they feel from being so low on the sporting totem pole in the US. Kind of like why the Mississippi schools and Ark fans on the SECr are so douchey.

I don't know man, I don't entirely disagree with your premise, but that video is a pretty poor example. Seems like a bunch of drunk people who are having a good time.

Seems forced and isnt even in our stadium.
You guys are idiots.
And they even have to pipe in the music to make it sound like people are singing.

The MLS is NOT trying to imitate Europe. If you made a family tree of types of fans by nation, the United States national team fans and MLS would be an offshoot of college athletics and Latin American fans. European support would be on a separate branch entirely.

Can someone explain what "forced" means in the context of soccer fans and this discussion? Doing a cheer means you are forcing yourself to be a fan?

Saints fans stole Who Dat from a high school. But even though it's great, they should drop it in order to not appear fake and forced. Amirite?

You know what Brit American football fans call themselves? "Supporters"
No, they don't. I sometimes listen to the Sirius soccer channel and they refer to themselves as fans. They call the groups of fans that support the teams "supporter's groups" or something similar.

You've never seen fans start cheers at tailgates? If fans start some cheers outside of Tiger Stadium or Bryant Denny, is that that being forced?

"American" cheering creates a sterile atmosphere and is just plain boring.
"European" cheering is actually enjoyable.

mehhhh no, its only a small % of trouble makers and now in europe they actually go out of their way to meet up and keep the normal people out of it. In germany its common place to see away fans in the home sections now. In england not so much if you get get caught rooting for the away team in the home section they kick you out, but pre match is only hostile on derby day

It's to their credit that US soccer fans absorb traditional modes of fanship from Europe since it's vastly superior to the bland, crass commercialism that dominates the live experience of other American professional sports.
