sports chant

Crowd's rhythmic yell

A sports chant is a rhythmic phrase or slogan repeated by fans to support their team or intimidate opponents.

Chants range from simple name repetition to elaborate call-and-response patterns: Defense! Defense! , Let's go, Red Sox!

They create collective energy in stadiums and arenas, turning individual spectators into a unified crowd.
