The "You suck @$$h0le" chant

There are those who are critical of the content of some of the cheers coming out of the east side of the supporters end, but you have to give them credit for recruiting a lot more new fans than the west side groups have been able to get into the stands.

 

I am hijacking my son's post here....we had to give up our seats on the west side of the south endzone because of the "choice chants" . We have been season ticket holders from day 1. We like to bring our children and their friends to the games but when our children refused to bring anyone to the games because of the vulgarity being spewn out, we had no choice. So we moved but also dropped the season tickets because we travel 4 hours one way to see a match and we want to be able to enjoy ourselves and not be bombarded by NEEDLESS crassness. I don't get how these chants support our team. I feel they degrade and tarnish the team and their efforts. We have experimented sitting in different seats around the stadium, yes we miss chanting all the time but we do enjoy the game more and are more relaxed elsewhere. I also find it a bit ironic that the group ticket sales for youth soccer teams are placed so close to the South end zone. We have traveled to see the team in many different cities around the country and have not heard as many crude chants as at our "home". It is a sad day when the Home Depot Center is more appealing than enduring the first 45 minutes at Rio Tinto. Thanks for listening. The front office doesn't.

 

I'm so stoked that we're discussing this! We haven't debated this subject in at least an hour.

For anyone who's new, here's how the debate will unfold at this point:
1. People will go in circles about whether swearing appropriate or necessary.
2. Then it will turn into an LDS/non-LDS insult-fest.
3. Finally the debate will turn to alcohol before slowly fading into the sunset and nothing will have changed. If anything, both sides will leave with increased resolve to do their best to piss off the other side.

 

Ah, I see. In that case, here is how the debate will go:
1. FO asks supporter's groups to tone down the language.
2. Supporter's groups tell the front office "piss off...we'll do as we please."
3. Things will continue as before, with the difference that the SG's and FO will dislike each other even more.

Personally, I don't mind the "you suck, @ssh0le" chant. It's a bit juvenile, but at least the stadium is united in saying something.

 

TL/DR

But honestly the YSA is silly. I'd be for something more creative, whether it used swearing or not I don't care.

What would you like us to say? Lets turn this thread into a way to come up with someing better! Then you can bring the SG's something other than, "Can't you stop and say something else?"

 

Every Portland/Seattle match I watch just makes me dislike our "supporters" that much more.

I know, I know. They have history, richer tradition, larger population, etc. But, really, this is retarded.

We have 4 separate sections/groups in the south end that have their own objectives.
The rest of us suffer.

I haven't heard the Ole chant across the entire stadium since early in the season. I thought it was going to be a trend, guess not.

Those chant practices seem to not be helping, either.

 

I've always thought it would sound good to start quiet and build up with oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ole!

No matter what happens, it would just be nice to do something different from most other stadiums in MLS.

 

Saying ole is already linked to completing multiple passes in a row. But not bad.

 

"You Suck!" would work and be just fine but it's forever linked with a-hole and people will add that at the end even if they are trying to stop.

 

Correction: the stadium is not united in that chant, the south end and a couple of groups around the stadium are.

 

You're right, but from where I sit, this is the most united-sounding cheer we have.

 

And doesn't the "You suck a$$hole chant" end by those groups saying "F@#$ you a$$hole?"

I for one could care less what people say, but I do agree that it goes to far sometimes. I have tickets on the southeast side, and on occasion I take my 7 year old niece. I think that people should be able to say whatever the hell that they want, but I would hope they would have a little bit of tact.

I also think the streamers are out of control. I think it is awesome when the supporters groups coat the goal pre game if the opposing keeper is in it, but throwing streamers at players during the run of play is completely ridiculous.

That's just my opinion.

 

Section 5 is correct, it's not just YSA at the Riot -

The chant is 'You Suck A-hole!, what do you suck, A-hole!, what do you f--K, A-hole! - F--k You A-hole! (there are a few other creative variants of it).

By sitting at other end of the stadium a lot of the noise is drowned out and you only hear the A-hole and the last F--K you A-hole.... but sitting near the south end you get the privilege of enjoying it in all its RCB glory.

 

Besides talk radio, Big Soccer is the best place to go to hear people talk about shit they know nothing about.

Have any of you shown up to the chant practices? Have any of you been to the meetings with the FO? Do you know what concessions the SGs have agreed to? If you haven't but you continue to talk like you know what is going on then "You suck asshole!"

 

Beast has a point. The Royal Army just had their first chant practice, that was the perfect time to address this complaint. And this thread is turning into another, "What I Don't Like" threads.

We all get some don't care and some don't like the YSA. Again, how about instead of adding to the fodder, we come up with a better chant and bring it up at the next practice or SG meeting.

 

At the last SG meeting and chant practice the YSA chant was discussed. There is no way you will ever get rid of it. One concession the SGs have come up with is to stop the "What does he suck" call and respond at the end. So at the end off the YSA chant we go straight into the "GooooooooooooooooOOOO ReAL SALT LAKE" chant. It will take a few weeks for it to catch on, but with the capos and the drummers moving on the crowd will eventually follow.

 

any luck with LBR or UR joining in on these chant practices?
what the hell happened to our "Ole, ole ole ole, real, salt lake" chant?

 

LMFAO!!! Those two groups no longer care about anybody but themselves. They just compete with each other to see who can be louder and more rowdy. I used to think they were there to add atmosphere. Hell, I used to defend them constantly to other SG members. I've now realized that if they actually cared about the team or the atmosphere they would cooperate with the other groups, something they refuse to do.

 

I sit right next to UR. It irritates the hell out of me. I hear you guys up front and I go to join in just to be outdone by an (offbeat) drummer and 5 guys with their shirts off not giving two shits about the game.

I used to defend them because they brought numbers and noise.
Lately, only the second one has been happening. And not in a good way.
