Good or bad thing?

Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Birmingham and West Ham have all banned
controversial vuvuzelas from their stadiums this season.

The horns - a plastic instrument played at matches in South Africa -
provided the backdrop to the World Cup finals this summer, causing
irritation amongst players and supporters.

The cacophony often drowned out the chants of the crowds during games,
leading to some English clubs fearing they would diminish the
traditional atmosphere at their grounds.

The clubs have moved to ban the horn ahead of the new campaign -
claiming they posed a safety risk as well as ruining the matchday ambience.

I notice United are not on that list. Then again, they don't have much
of a atmosphere to destroy in the first place I suppose.

Some organisations always like to shove the word 'safety' into any
argument for banning anything, to stifle any response.

There's no safety issue. If they just don't want the things in their
stadiums, why not just say so?
