Washington Nationals fans are trying to stop people from doing the wave:

“Kill it,” Ryan Mattheus told me last season. “It’s the worst thing in sports. Sit down and watch the game….The thing about it is, you should be into what’s going on on the field, not what’s going on in the stands. It takes away from the game. I definitely understand why people hate it….I definitely vote kill the wave.”

Little did he know that he would inspire a movement with those words.

Fans drafted an excellent letter to argue why the wave is bad, reprinted at the link.

Of course, the real way to stop the wave is for the anti-waves to stand up when all else are sitting, and sit when all else are standing. The crest/trough interference should make the wave invisible. 🙂
