ICESREAM IS MEAN
So everytime a player from one side lined up for free throws in an important NBA game in the USA, a young girl would scream so loud that the entire stadium housing thousands of spectators let alone the players on the court, could hear her.
The team missed 18 free throws and the opposition side narrowly won the game.
It turned out the screamer was the daughter of the star player from the winning side and he was so proud of his off-spring.
Now in rugby, the Irish are all hushed up when the opposition take a shot at goal. That could be upwards of 60,000 spectators at a rugby international. And if a spectator started to boo he/ she would quickly be admonished.
So is it sporting for a yeller to keep putting off free throw shooters in a big basketball game and be praised for it.
Well maybe in the era of Trump in the USA nothing like lying and cheating matters.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
34.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
