Oh let them. What are we western society bums to say anything to their customs?
Because they fucking hurt our ears, the players can't hear the referee's whistle, the players can't hear instructions from the coach and voices from the commentators are being drowned in the noise (protests from tv-companies).
Over 1,5 million have been sold in Europe already and the stocks are being sold faster then they can make them. Orders have been placed for millions more. Soon to be heard in every game in europe, i guarantee you.

I say we ban there customs since they are a clear health risk. Those things can seriously damage your hearing with there 130 decibels.
I'm not THAT worried though. They have recieved SO much protests here in europe that I don't think they will get a hold.
Clubs/leagues will ban them.
Here in europe the supporter culture is more focused on singing rather than making as much noise as possible.
Eventually, people will grow tired of making that monotone noise. How much fun can it be.
if they do get a hold however, that will ruin football for me.
80% of the reason why I go to see games live is due to the fantastic feeling, the singing and cheering for my team. It's impossible to describe.
