Passion for your Team and the Tomahawk Chop
Okay, your team has just run off the field and will not play a scheduled game that you have been waiting for all week. It's hot and you paid money for a ticket and now...no game! What do you do?
Well, if you are the fans of San Lorenzo, you stay in the stadium and when the team comes out for a jog, you go nuts and sing to them. Singing about winning the Copa Libertadores (the South American version of the Champions Leauge) and urging the team on to keep winning. For about 45 minutes after the cancellation, those folks were still here and still shouting and singing to at the top of their lungs. If you see the crowd photo, you'll notice the snapping of the arms while singing. This is an important part of the cheers and each fan has his or her own unique style...kind of like your own version of the Tomahawk Chop.
We took a couple of photos inside the stadium and went on our way for dinner.
