The "You suck!" chant

[MJB Devils23*]

Simply put, do you like it or don't like it?

I don't like the chant after we score a goal. Any other time during the game would be fine.

Yeah same for me. This is exactly how I feel. I don't have a problem with it, but I don't participate in it either.

 

[Nick0930]

It gets the crowd really hyped, especially when scoring on the Rags, that's why I like it.

Yes, builds a good atmosphere, doesn't hurt anybody.

Simply put NO and I don't like Rangers Suck when we aren't playing them.

I actually don't have a problem with the "Rangers suck" chant even though I don't like it. It's meh to me. "Flyers swallow" is a different story though.

Who cares. The rivalries are fun! Its a sporting event, not an opera, get up and cheer gosh darn it! Make a fool of yourself, for Pete's (DeBoar's) sake have some fun!

I like that too.

Flyers swallow, Rangers suck, Hey, you suck!, all good clean fun.

"Sucks" is basically just another way to say stinks in a more crude way. "Swallow" is just downright offensive IMO.

You suck - just don't chant it after a goal and I'm fine with it.
Rangers suck - I'm fine with this.
Flyers swallow - offensive. But it rarely gets picked up on tv very well, and even in the arena, you basically have to be sitting in the uppers in order to understand the chant.

That cheer is for folks who dont want any lingering doubt that they have absolutely no class.

Luckily it's not really audible on tv. And it's barely audible in many parts of the arena.

It's a stupid chant but it's not going anywhere. It would be awesome if we only did it against the Rangers and Flyers.

 

[SeidoN]

Have to admit its a bit of a guilty pleasure. But chanting mean things at a sports game is part of my heritage

 

[Saugus]

I despise the chants directed at teams we are not currently playing. "Rangers suck" is stupid. So is the one that goes "if you know the Rangers suck, clap your hands". Both should only come out when we play the Rangers.

But the "hey, you suck!" accompanying the goal song is something I am perfectly fine with.

Terrible use of almost politically correct redneck. Knowyourmeme.com

I don't understand how anyone gets offended by the chant. If "you suck" is the most offensive thing you hear on a daily basis, you probably should stop spending 16 hours a day in your church group.

I used to think it was embarrassing but then I decided to embrace it. Now i love it.

 

[Sherseys]

I like it. I think the players are intelligent enough to tell who the chant is directed at

 

[Ripshot 43]

For a classy organization it's a terrible way to celebrate a goal. Plus, the crowd says "you suck" when we just scored but are down 4-1 still? Also, hearing young children say the swallow part is just sickening.

 

[MartyOwns]

my thoughts

rangers suck- stupid
flyers swallow- embarrassing
you suck- awesome

 

[CerebralGenesis]

wow...did you really start a poll on this?

If it bothers you so much, then don't do the chant. You won't be able to stop an arena of people doing it.
