They need to jazz some of the sports up; perhaps, in darts, they're playing with the knowledge that at any moment, a bear will be released into the room; it would give the whole thing an extra edge.
Quote: DaButt @ June 19 2010, 2:55 AM BSTAre there any vuvuzelas at Wimbledon? I'm assuming they'll appear at every sporting event of the future.
In general, 'posh' events like Wimbledon are of the opinion that silence is essential, while 'pleb' sports like football don't care about all that. With something like cricket, the English always treated it as a posh sport, with a silent crowd, whilst overseas in the Caribbean, the crowd would have an absolute party. And yet they always gave the best performances.
Somebody will smuggle a vuvuzela in and blow it at a tense moment. Then John Inverdale and John McEnroe will share a chuckle over it in the results show later.
