There's a big difference between being serious and being an OOO. One of the differences is worrying about the fans chanting, unless the chant happens to be obscene or racial in nature, or sumthin' like that.
Anyone even thinking about calling this one should run it by his supervisor first to get their opinion. You don't want to be "that guy"- the only official ever to worry about what the crowd is doing in this particular gym. If all of the other officials going in there don't have a problem with the crowd, then fuggedaboutit. You're just trying to impose your own personal standards, instead of simply following the norm. Jmo.
