Brazilian fans will have to learn some courtesy come 2016 TO NOT boo the servers while they are serving. Americanas blow out Brasilianas 25-17 in 2nd set!! C'mon, booing servers is Okay in Volley (happens everywhere in World League)... And as you see, didn't work. PS: "Americanas" and "Brasileiras" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 "Brasileiras" That's the Portuguese-Braz. But in the rest of the world, the term used is Brazilians. What I'm saying Danny is that you will host in 2016, so as the HOST country, you will have to be more polite to the visiting teams. That will make you a better host.

But Volleyball have organized crowd of supporters for decades, people in Brazil does love Volley, it's our #2 sport, I don't think people will change their habits in this very sport. But for gymnastics, ceremonies and stuff, media is already talkning about the booings and how IT IS NOT NICE to boo athletes. In the PanAms people already changed their minds... But Soccer, Volley, Basketball, Handball... I don't think big changes will happen...

baron-pierreIV Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 PS: In spanish is "Brasileños" and not "Brasilianos" hehehe I know that. Did I use "Brasilianos"? Besides, my keyboard does not have enye character. Danny, if FIFA can (try to) erase racism in football, if the Chinese taxi drivers were forced to learn some English and the Beijingese were instructed NOT TO SPIT in public for Beijing 2008, I am sure Brazilians can be taught some basic sports etiquette. Especially after 2014, there will be NO EXCUSE to maintain the discourteous audience habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after 2014, there will be NO EXCUSE to maintain the discourteous audience habits. Again, I agree with you TOTALLY, Baron... It would be nice to have no single booing in all Olympic Games (something London already can not be proud of after UK crowd booing Japanese gymnastic athletes and referees yesterday). I do think Brazil will boo less and will not boo individual sports (much was said about this here in Brazil lately). This will be really achieved, but I don't think booing servers in Volley is really a problem, but something normal to Volleyball matches, indeed, outside Brazil. Ok, it's not common to American audience, but for sure in Poland, for example in the last World League. It's something related to team-sports people are used to in many countries.

BethnalGreen Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well done to the GB girls who won their first Olympic volleyball ever last night. They lost their funding two years ago and had to go on a massive fundraising exercise just to get to he Olympics. To them that will feel like a medal!
