Just an FYI, I had a conference call with the heads of MLS Security, Stadium Security, Section 8, and Operations. They are being very accommodating but they enforce a strict abusive language policy. They have removed people from Section 8 in the past and will not hesitate to remove our fans. You can have your own opinion on what should should be in chants but for this trip were on best behavior. Freaking Mental, etc. I would hate to see someone miss the match because they could not hold their tongue for 90 min.

I like this, especially because it's native to the US and it's simple. Substitute the team name (All you Sounders/Dallas/Whitecaps etc bound to lose..) and it's easy to do.
that is probably a more palatable idea, but i still think it's funnier to just keep it as fascists. p.s. if somebody wants to go fight some people, i really don't care. can we get back to the songs?
i'd like to preface this by saying i'm not a k-state fan, or a fan of any college really, so i don't know if this is something that will piss off too many people, but i was looking through wikipedia for political/college/regional anthems and found out that k-state's song has been adopted by and adapted for a few other schools.

I'd also like to state that I just posted songs that include god and 'merica and I'm not the biggest fan of either, so whatever.
just sing the refrain to this after goals [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOzmOZQdcYY"]YouTube - La La Blues - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for Pokey LaFarge[/ame]
I vote for this because it would be really easy for me to learn I really do think it would translate well though. I was looking around for some better video of it since it's pretty impressive when you see it done live at a B-Ball game, but couldn't find anything that didn't have muddy audio. While I was looking I did find this chant I've always liked though... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUvAO0B-Zbs&t=0m16s"]Starts around 16 seconds in[/ame] It goes something like: Purple (or purp), get ready to roll, what, get ready to roll (then one guy says "say what") and the background people are saying Ready to roll... Changing that to blue would be easy. As with Chairman, I'm not interested in any sort of college dispute, just my opinion.
I really enjoyed the ''WE, ARE, SPORTING'' screamed in full voice, it sounded really great in Chicago
Ooo, cool. I like that. It would be cool to have a really good, intimidating rhythmic chant, that was unique to SKC. Chants are more intimidating than songs, and would be much easier for the rest of the crowd to pick up join in on. Plus, if it were unique to SKC, then other SG's wouldn't be inclined to steal it, and we wouldn't hear ourselves "coming and going" like we do with a lot of the stuff we have. All it needs is a message and a cadence, plus a bit of lungpower, and you've got something special. Four or five of you guys get together, get a little lit, start shouting and see what happens. Don't forget to record it.
