Cringiest crowd chants?

[Deadly Dogma]

You didn't limit this to hockey, so I'm going to offer the super racist chant that dipshits at Arrowhead do at Chiefs games.

I am not familiar with the chant, are you able to give me a pg-13 version?

I always kind of chuckle when the Oilers play in Calgary. Edmonton faithful usually get the stock and standard "Let's Go Oilers!" chant going, and Calgary always just responds in the the downtime of the phrase with "Oilers Suck!"

It's such little brothers syndrome. Cheer for your own team, lol. I guess that's what hairball when your only cup win comes from an Oilers own goal.

Not sure what this is referring to, but is it anything like Atlanta's "chop" which I believe still exists at Braves games?

Imagine if Chicago had something similar at Hawks games, just one more thing for that sad excuse of a franchise to deal with.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Nashville Predators for sure.

"Goalie, Goalie, Goalie... It's all your fault... It's all your fault"

Also, not really a "chant" but whenever there's a popular song that's played in the arena and the fans continue singing the lyrics long after the music has stopped it always bugs me. It seems to happen a lot with Blink 182's 'All The Small Things" and Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"

At home games Caps fans yell "who cares" after they announce the away team's goal scorer and I want to jump out of a window every time I hear it.

Do any other teams do this? It's actually the worst.

The only time I remember hearing this is back when the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) were still around. Went to a few of their home games, and they had some kind of over the PA promo from some company named Zuber (maybe ?) and it went something like "This Plymouth Whalers powerplay brought to you by Zuber Chrysler" - fans would yell "Who cares!", PA responds "Zuber cares" - fans "So what?!" Hated that.....

Find the Nashville "It's all your fault" thing ridiculous - sounds like high school or college thing, not the NHL.

Also.....find it annoying (and maybe it's an American thing or something for newer markets?) but does the PA really need to tell the fans that their team is on the PP?!

I find North American chants all a bit cringey to be honest. You've gotta get some creativity in there. Look to English football for inspiration.

Please NOOOOOOOOOO

 

[JoVel]

When in doubt, just chant USA. That's totally not cringy under any circumstance.

I've got no horse in this race but.....does Edmonton still have "City of Champions" on its bordering signs, in reference to Cups won by the Oilers over thirty years ago?

Just curious.

Also, not sure why you'd have a problem with Flames fans defending their turf, in their own barn. Seems like a logical response, if anything.

How is the chop an issue? they are the Atlanta Brave's. They used tomahawks and tomahawks chopped.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Being a Bruins fan from Canada and hearing the crowd chant USA! USA! USA! is insanely annoying.
I'm guessing most native Boston fans don't realize there's probably 1M+(probably closer to 2-3M) Bruins fans in Canada.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The arenas that rely on horns to rally the fans into a forced chant during play. Cringe, let it be natural.

 

[Steerpike]

Nashville Predators for sure.

"Goalie, Goalie, Goalie... It's all your fault... It's all your fault"

Ten thousand people having fun singing songs together makes you cringe? Who are you? The Grinch?

The only Avs chant which makes me cringe is "Red Wings Suck"

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I strongly disagree. Rivals hate it and everyone knows it's a Habs chant (in the NHL).

Everyone hates it because it is annoying not because it is the Habs. It is only appropriate when other fans bases return the favor mockingly.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I do Rick Flair woos, go on diatribes against Justin Holl, and gaslight everyone around me.

 

[eibyyz]

"Beat LA"

"WE WANT BAMA"...especially at a hockey game.

 

[Voight]

the "ole" chants Habs fans do.... by far the worst.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Never heard it being used during play. During stoppages, sure, and yes it is annoying.

Almost as annoying as those "noise meters" that always seem to max out regardless of how loud an arena gets.

I wonder if Arizona even bothers with that one, when their attendance is in the four-digit range.

I find it annoying and hilarious at the same time since it's Euro Soccer Chant.
It really doesn't fit the sport, it also backfires a lot.

 

[eibyyz]

Yes, it comes from the Lakers and Celtics rivalry. The Celtics were playing the 76er's to see who would play the Lakers in the final. Near the end of the 76er's game (when Boston realized that they couldn't win), the fans started chanting "Beat LA," to the 76er's players, letting them know their distaste for LA.

I was a Sixers fan back then and I remember that. Philly 'pooched it that year, but 1983 made up for it.

A few teams have it in play that I can think of. Pittsburgh and Carolina specifically, and possibly others. It is used to create a "Let's Go ____" chant to the noise of the horn and it is obnoxious.

 

[beowulf]

I wish I could legally punch people who chant "ole ole ole" when I'm at the Bell center.

I don't mind if it is at the right time. It's dumb when they start way too early like during a game maybe a month ago, some started chanting it at the end of the second period...dumb.

City of Champions moniker was given due to Edmontonians humanitarian response to a fluke tornado (1 in 500 years event) that utterly destroyed hundreds of peoples homes and businesses. No different than say Boston Strong.

It was people from rival cities that equated it to sports.

But, no, the sign does not still say City of Champions.

And I don't have a problem with the interplay or Calgary defending their turf. I think it's kinda fun to be a part of. I just think it's funny that Calgary's go to is to shit on Edmonton instead of propping up their own team. They even throw the Oilers Suck in there when say Toronto or Montreal fans have the "Let's Go Habs" thing going. I just think the obsession is weird; why not "go Flames go".

LOL. There is nothing worse than those soccer chants. They are even worse than waking up to Peeps in your Easter basket

Don't forget Bon Jovi livin' on a prayer

It's just that it usually goes on for sooooooo long, man. I can see the next few lines, but when the game is going on and on and they're still singing just gets to be a bit much.
