Gestern begann die Fußball-WM in Südafrika und was I feared was to happen: The live broadcasts are (completely independent of the playful quality of the encounters) a disaster. The reason for the awful " vuvuzelas " are - trumpet-like sound generator, which because of its design, however, can elicit even rounder than 3 pitches - they have to do with musical instruments, therefore, to about as much as Schwäbisch with High German.
that things over 120 DB-speaker and thus cause hearing damage is long since known and affected me much because I found the games so thank god not in the stadium, but in front of TV pursue - including public viewing I avoid self-evident because many of my countrymen to follow the mindless herd mentality and put their lack of individuality also been loudly trumpeting the test. But even if I'm going to wear in the living room certainly no sudden loss of hearing about it, I realize that I feel this constant monotonous noise (somewhere between bees and elephant herd) pretty much on the nerves. While offering "Sky Sports" its paying viewers to the commentator by Option to hide (which I at dull nerve jaws as Fritz von Thurn und Taxis do always like to be), but it is not "Vuvuzela-OFF" button - although technically not problem would be - since their frequency could be fairly easily filter away . (Addendum: Since 16 June Sky has yet to such an option: 1x with 1x vuvuzelas and without - refuse it works well)
FIFA president Joseph Blatter, incidentally, was to ban the vuvuzelas (which since the last Confederations Cup several players coaches and officials called for) because they are "part of African culture" and that they ban "discriminatory" would be. Here are a few counter-arguments:
- That the Vuvuzela ( the originally imported from the U.S. and China was and its first significant South African sales in the 90's started), "African heritage" supposed to be is highly ridiculous. Something that only known for more than 10 years, may not "heritage" are
- The game is blown broken, because the players listen to the instructions of their coach can not and even the players do not differ verbal communication lead longer (like the Mexican team yesterday evening confirmed). More and more players (which are now sometimes the most important actors of this World Cup and have been working for years at this tournament) indicate that they are annoyed by the level and duration after the match, half-deaf in the cabins were. So what is the benefit or meaning, the mood / performance of the best football player in the world to impair? Although some believe it will not: Football takes in the head instead and this includes communication
- The atmosphere in the stadium is completely botched. In this blog post criticized a South African editor, that the "songs" and "Drums / Rhyhtmen" that made up always used the acoustics of a football game, was replaced by a monotonous tone unbearable volume. The result: No one "invented" more crowd chants and new battle cries because they can not hear anyway. The other existing acoustic dynamics of a football game will be completely destroyed. If a home team is playing badly, there are usually "dead silence" - for some action "is under Murmur through the stadium, "in attacks" a raging cauldron "in goals scored, there are" deafening cheers "- all that is gone - Stevie Wonder would have no chance anyway mitzubekommen that a goal falls short, no one can his team anymore. "forward whip"
- The same unspeakable "Gas-horn", which were used earlier in the soccer stadiums have long prohibited. Why, because they can damage hearing. No one would dream, to whine, but that the " a part of European culture "and that they obtained by their ban" discrimination "would
- If a nation is hosting a World Cup, should they be more or less hospitable - as far as this point. It so nobody minds when South Africa fans blow the game against France in their vuvuzelas - so that they help, according to her coach and her team even. But why they do so in Greece - South Korea? At the World Cup includes the chants of all participating nations - and not just a repetitive noise duration
- way, it is not "typically German" to demand a ban on these "instruments" (or to ban them for public viewing) but a international demand. are online petitions of this kind are currently available in all countries, whose teams participate in the World Cup (even in South Africa). In addition, issued by the South African Rugby Union to vuvuzelas already a stadium ban for local rugby games - then this should be possible for football
PS. (3 Tage später) Mittlerweile habe ich Zuschriften von aktiven Trötern erhalten. Als Antwort auf meine Frage schreiben sie: "Macht doch Spaß!". Ihnen möchte ich erwidern: Furzen kann auch Spaß machen - aber nicht, wenn es 50.000 Leute gleichzeitig tun
