#5) Making Noise – There are many types of noise. There’s baby noise, car noise, dog barking at
3 AM noise, you’re annoying, why are you talking to me noise, I live next to
the airport noise, and so much more.
What this article is about though is sports noise. It’s the best noise around and everyone
contributes.
From the coach yelling at the players, to the QB or PG
calling out the play, to the fans in the stands, to the band, and even the
humming from the Goodyear blimp. It all
adds up to turn into something great. Making
noise is just so darned fun! There’s no
way you can disagree with me either, because as a sports fan, you expect there
to be loud noises and to make your own loud noises when you go to a game. A touchdown is scored: fans cheer
ecstatically. The home team has a 2
point lead with little time in the fourth quarter of a basketball game: home
fans shout “DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!”.
You’re at an international futbol game:
Vuvuzelas are all you can hear.
Go to any hockey game: there is at least one instance where somebody
yells “HIT SOMEBODY!”. 
And there’s the on field noise. The defense yelling “pass, pass”. The offense getting the play call from the
sideline. The chatter coming from
trainers who don’t have anything to do.
The whistle of the ref. The
bounce of the basketball. The collision
of pads. The squeak of sneakers. The boot of a football or futbol. The ping of the baseball as is comes off the
bat. The puck slamming and ricocheting
off the glass. All those sounds are part
of why we love sports. It all just seems
to make sense. If those noises don’t
happen, it doesn’t seem real.
They do happen though.
And whether or not you’re making noise because your team is winning or
losing, or you’re doing it because you hate the other team, or maybe you’re
just like any other red blooded sports fan and love to make noise. It’s all okay, all accepted. So go ahead, make some noise people.
Check in tomorrow for #4.
