Vuvuzelas Effects FIFA World Cup 2010 Match
From wikipedia
During the World Cup events many competitors have criticised and complained about the noise caused by the vuvuzela horns, including France’s Patrice Evra who blamed the horns for the team’s poor performance. He also claimed that the sound of the vuvuzelas away from the stadiums hampered the ability of the players to get their rest. Other critics include Lionel Messi who complained that the sound of the vuvuzelas hampered communication among players on the pitch, and broadcasting companies, who complained that commentators’ voices were being drowned out by the sound. Cristiano Ronaldo went on record to state that the sound of the vuvuzelas disturbed the teams’ concentration.
Others watching on television have complained that the ambient audio feed from the stadium only contains the sounds of the vuvuzelas and the natural sounds of people in the stands are drowned out. A spokesperson for the ESPN network said it was taking steps to minimize the noise of the crowd on its broadcasts.
Portuguese telecommunications company, Portugal Telecom, announced on June 16, that is going to offer a alternative audio feed, which the vuvuzela sound is edited out, to the customers of its Pay-TV service called meo.
When asked a few days into the tournament whether consideration would be given to banning vuvuzelas during matches, South African organising chief Danny Jordaan replied, “if there are grounds to do so, yes” and that “if any land on the pitch in anger we will take action.”
