Harvard has decided to ban vuvuzelas -- think “World Cup” and buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -- from this weekend’s rivalry game against Yale. After all, such instruments are only for the commoners.
‘Vuvuzelas At Hahvahd vs. Yale? The Horror!’
Maybe that’s not fair. After all, it’s easy to make fun of Ivy League fans as legacy enrollees ...
“There are going to be a lot of alums at The Game, and it would tarnish their experience,” Harnes said.
... or that they’re far too soft for such instruments ...
“If you’re on offense, you can’t hear your own team,” Goodman said. “And the band members prepare for this game for a long time.”
You know what? Never mind. This story reinforces all the stereotypes you’ve ever had about the Ivy League. But at least they’ll be able to hear every note from their beloved band, and their millionaire alums will be able to enjoy their peaceful afternoon watching the proud, traditional clash between two powerhouses. Of the 19th Century.
