    LMAO! Some people, like the referee mentioned in the article, obviously just don't have enough REAL worries in their grumpy little lives:

    Oh, please... :rolleyes:

    Let the girl grunt.

    Are you thinking of that 80s pop group, A Flock of Seagulls?

    As far as the grunting goes, it's common in the martial arts to use grunting or other short, explosive sounds to help control breathing, tighten abdominal muscles, and focus energy right before and during the delivery of a powerful stroke (;)). It's not surprising that other athletes would use the technique as well.

    Definitely have to agree there - I'm certainly not bothered by hearing the girl grunt; if anything, it's a bit invigorating :cool:

    Do a Google Image search on this girl. Her nickname should be Maria "Panty Shot" Sharapova.

    It may help to intimidate opponents. I like to grunt loudly while drinking at boring parties, it livens things up a bit. ummmm, j/k

    I'm suprised it hasn't crossed over to the business sector. Right before a guy gives a powerpoint presentation he just let's out a large room filling grunt to focus and then launches into the sales prediction for the 3rd quater.

    Hmmm... think it would fly? Probably so - if the projections are good enough. :D

    Sales meetings are just pep rallies for the most part, cheering should morph to grunting any day now.

    I can see it gradually taking over rock concerts, live theatre, and opera in due course as well... so much more civilized than clapping and whistling (or that long-overdue-for-retirement and pretentious 'Bravo!').

    For some reason, I find myself singing (in my head)...

    Flintstones
    Meet the Flintstones
    They're a modern stone-age family
    from the
    town of Bedrock...
