how about the volume?

There is one team in our league who manages to sing and cheer (all innocent stuff, mindo you)at such a volume that virtually no one can concentrate. (I don't really see how this could possibly help their batters, but it does seem to fire them up as a team quite a bit.)

Assume they never get into unsportsmanlike cheers, can it ever reach a volume for you to tell them to quiet it down?

On another note, at a tournament in Holland last spring there was one team which formed a circle before every game and gave the following cheer:

Are we gonna fight?
Yes!
Are we gonna win?
Yes!
Are we gonna lose?
No f*****g way!

Since then I've heard one or two other teams using the f-word during a cheer. Since I'm usually the only American on the field, I'm probably the only one who finds it unacceptable. Perhaps the women in America should start chanting obscenities in Italian or something.
