I can't stream the video with my software, so I need to ask based on the discussion, is this a play wherein players bark either before or after the ball is put in play? If so, a question for those who consider it tending to make a travesty of the game: Do you count it as tending toward travesty because it distracts people from the play of the game? Or do you count it as that for some other reason?

Now, for those who consider it unsportsmanlike conduct: Do you consider it so because you think it's an unfair means of getting opponents to laugh, and hence distract them? Or do you consider it so because any sort of performance other than the play of the game itself is unsportsmanlike? If it's for the first reason, do you think there are any allowable means of trying to get opponents to laugh, and hence distract them? Would you allow tickling?
