Oh, I don't either. I had a tourney game last week where the fans had pennies in a 2 liter Coke bottle, shaking the damn thing like crazy. The home AD, who also happens to be a football official in our association, was standing on the baseline. During a dead ball, I told him the bottles were illegal.
He thanked me later, saying "I thought they were illegal. I was just waiting on one of you guys to give me the word." I told him that was his call, not mine. I just informed him of the rule.
They also had megaphones but personally, I don't see them as a problem. He let them stay.
Bottom line, if fans have'em and I think they're a problem, I'll remind game mgmt. They're usually thankful that I bring it up.
