World Cup considers horn ban - World Cup News - FOX Sports on MSN World Cup organizing committee head Danny Jordaan on Sunday did not rule out banning vuvuzelas, the noisy plastic trumpets that have proved a hit with fans in South Africa but threaten to deafen players and viewers alike.When we were at the Olympic games in Beijing, there were times when it was loud.

Criticism of the vuvuzelas has been almost as loud as the instruments themselves with broadcasting companies complaining the din is almost drowning out commentary.

The FIFA organizers can come up with some kind of compromise that will allow the horns but maybe put limits on when they can be played.
Here is a compromise:
