Should The Vuvuzela Be Banned At The World Cup 2010: South Africa?

What is all the buzzing going on during the World Cup matches you might ask? Well, it is the vuvuzela. Urban Dictionary defines the vuvuzela as:

"An annoying trumpet-like instrument played by fans, mainly in African countries, in football matches. They may be banned from Fifa for the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa.
Fan #1: Did you hear the fans go crazy when South Africa scored the goal yesterday?

Fan #2: No! I had to put my television on mute because of those damn vuvuzelas!"

Even before the start of World Cup 2010: South Africa the vuvuzela came up against intense criticism from FIFA. Before the beginning of the tournament FIFA had considered the idea of banning the vexatious vuvuzelas, but faced large opposition from the fans in South Africa. Supporters say that the horn adds to the experience of having the World Cup in South Africa. Many have criticized the horns for being too loud and quite frankly, find them to be quite annoying. The players have shown similar distaste for them, pointing out that they are unable to communicate effectively down on the pitch.

Yahoo! Sports - Martin Rogers - “It is impossible to communicate,” said Argentina’s Lionel Messi, the world’s best player. “It is like being deaf.”

Denmark's goalkeeper presented one idea on how to overcome the constant buzzing of the horn: sign language.

FIFA has been looking into this matter much more thoroughly and is working on a way to come up with a solution. FIFA has already taken action in the form of handing out ear plugs at the gates for fans.

Let us know what you think? Should FIFA do something about this or should players and fans just accept this as part of the experience of the World Cup being held in South Africa.

Rate 1 in favor of banning them or Rate 5 in favor of keeping them.
