According to ufc.com:
UFC President Dana White confirmed that vuvuzelas, pesky noise makers used infamously by South African fans at this year’s World Cup, have been banned at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday.HT: Cpt Mason
"This decision was pretty simple for me," White said. "Vuvuzelas make the most horrific sound I’ve ever heard. I’d rather let Brock punch me in the face than hear 15,000 people blow on those things. This is the biggest heavyweight fight we’ve ever done. We’ll make enough noise this weekend when Brock and Shane finally step inside the Octagon."

LOL… I would assume the MGM Grand probably doesn’t allow them inside in the first place.

He suffered severe tinnitus and said he passed out from the shock.What a pussy!

American Football is awesome too! And the game starts with a kickoff, so FOOTBALL IS AN APPROPRIATE NAME!!
The Seahawks are by far the best at football
Considering how often we settle for field goals or punt on 4th down.

should it be called airball? (come to think of it, it would still make more sense than american football being called footbal..)

They're all called "football".
Association football (soccer), American/Gridiron football, rugby football, Aussie-rules football, etc. Whatever version is most popular in your country is generally referred to as “football”; the rest are labeled something else.

He's otherwordly when it comes to set pieces
And good when it comes to everything else. Definitely an overrated player that became a megastar due to his looks and marriage.
I doubt marrying Victoria from the Spice Girls can make anyone a star though (and certainly not one who already is), you might be off on this, big time. He was a huge prospect, but never quite lived up to the expectations.
I'm a lover not a fighter
The fact that they are supposed to be one of the most beautiful couples
in the world is a huge factor in his fame. How many Americans know anything about his accomplishments on the footbal field? How many care? You can bet that most Americans know who he is though.
If the marriage / modeling reached North America
Who doesn’t care about football, it reached other places.
That already knew about Beckham, and didn't care about Victoria
an overrated player that became a megastar due to his looks and marriage
Look? Ok.
Marriage? Ok, in north America and every other countries caring about tabloid stuff but not soccer. So basically, just North America.
I'm a lover not a fighter
There are no tabloids anywhere else?
Beckam was never in the news or on TV for any reason other than football?
If he was (and I am pretty sure he was) it did contribute to his fame.
Well, he was the biggest star in fottball for a couple of years. If he just was a guy who didn’t live up to the expectations that doesn’t make sense at all.
The marriage with that Spice Girl had a huge impact on his stardom in Europe (plus that actually was a really good player.)
While being very good, especially on set pieces, Beckham never got into the very thin air of European football like a lot of people expected him too.

[I]n the early days of the sport among the upper echelons of British society, the proper term for the sport was "Soccer". Not only that, but the sport being referred to as "Soccer" preceded the first recorded instance of it being called by the singular word "Football" by about 18 years.

Come on man your living in the heart of football country ;)
That is one thing I wish other sports would put in. No time outs just run that clock down.
What Futbol needs to do is get rid of the goalie and don’t let anyone in the penalty box. Non-stop action!
This was the first World Cup I sat down and watched and I actually had a good time watching it.

I’ll admit, I like the Saints, and watching them this season helped me appreciate it. I came for the home team and stayed for the game. I’m going to try to follow them this season again, as I assume that the more I watch it, the more I’ll understand the nuance. I hope.

I didn't go to a division 1 football school
So I never really sorted out my allegiances. My wife went to Wisconsin, so I guess that’s something, but I’m not passionate about it. I grew up with the Redskins so I’m borderline insane about them.
I’ll take any kind of football over soccer though. I don’t really hate soccer as much as I claim (and I ended up watching a lot of it in Belgium last week) but simply as a television product I think it is far inferior to football.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

The USA did really well I thought, particularly Landon Donovan. To come from 2 down againt Slovenia, and to score in injury time against Algeria was really impressive, showed a lot of heart, which was lacking from a number of much bigger teams. Little unlucky to get put out by Ghana, but they can definitely hold their heads high

I think Dana was scared they sound too close to the BROCKLESNAR mating call
And Brock might be driven into a primal rage and hump Carwin in the cage, followed by mounting his wife.
It may happen anyway, Dana just doesn’t want to be responsible.
Even when I'm laying on my back I'm never backing down
Who needs a vuvuzela, when you can bring in a group of Brazilians to chant “Werdum time!”? The Werdum Time chant is versatile, as you can change the celebratory name to whoever is near by just to celebrate…them.
“Lesnar time!”
Not sure how enthusiastic they’d be about it though…we’ll have to show them a video montage of Brazil’s soccer team scoring, ended with the Werdum triangle to get them in the proper mood.

he’d leave with it embedded somewhere painful.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
I hate going to NFL games
