Many sports experts describe the audience/team fans cheering or protesting as vital as the sixth player on a basketball team or the twelfth player on a soccer team. Sports team fans all over the world continuously search for new means to cheer or protest in order to increase their influence on the sports games results while increasing, as well, their own enjoyment of the event. For example, fans frequently arrive wearing their favored team uniform, hats, socks, scarves, etc. to attend the events. During the games, fans may perform as an organized group/chorus, shouting interjections according to the immediate situation at the pitch.
