Ban the Vuvuzela. Soccer is hard enough to watch as it is.

Puzzling.

I won't give you the URL of the blog because it offended my sensibilities. I was however looking up something today about the 'orrible noise coming from the crowd at the FIFA World Cup Crowd.

I read the article in the London Telegraph in which the writer, Xabi Alonso  commented:  "There is serious dispute as to how traditional it is for South African fans to blow on their vuvuzelas. Some link it back to the traditional kudu horn. Others say it only dates back to the late 90s when the Chinese-made horns were promoted by breweries in the domestic game."


The blog entries that followed – now closed – were full of atrocious racist, bigoted, foul language and I couldn't help wondering which was worse—the supposed insensitivities of the locals for foisting their noise on visitors or the written insults of the blog posters.


We're a funny lot aren't we?
