You'd have a lot of enemies.
Not a problem. As long as my dogs and family like me I'm fine. Really, the whistling really doesn't bother me. If I don't hear whistling at the Vandy baseball games I get concerned. Where are the whistlers? Are they okay? Have they been kidnapped?
If they should be kidnapped, I can stand up and break wind real loud, followed by yelling "Go Dores". I can also repetitively make those disgusting armpit sounds (at least I THINK I can, haven't tried in a decade or two). I think that would be less annoying than the whistlers, and just as supportive of the team.

I completely understand why people are annoyed by our whistlers, I get it. But you have to admit that his cadence whistles and the claps that go in sync, make our few # of fans sound like many more than is actually there

Especially on a day like today when we are so, so very outnumbered by LSU fans

It looks as though ...

... the event staff is hassling The Whistler, even though the LSU fans are feeding off his whistles.

If he can't whistle, they shouldn't be allowed to cheer.

I cannot believe the police talked to those guys. What a joke

That should earn them some more fans, because that was ridiculous

The whistling crap has gone past the point of diminishing returns. It's time to end it.

Bases loaded with 2 outs and what are they showing on the broadcast?

His crap needs to end. It's officially outlived it novelty.

Disagree, he's causing chaos and has LSU discombobulated.

BS

We had the bases loaded with two outs and didn't score. He's a negative influence. A curse. A jinx.

All his bull5hit does is annoy fans on both sides.

Y’all can hate him as much as you want but that dude loves VU baseball.

Also interesting observation, he’s now sitting next to an AU (I think) fan who was laughing and joking with him, just generally being pleasant and surprisingly the whistling has been way toned down since then.

We have so few fans there today, I don't see how you cannot appreciate him. He gets our relatively few fans all clapping/cheering in unison, which helps our team....because we are dwarfed by LSU fans

He is an obnoxious attention seeker ruining the game for fans on both sides AND watching on TV!!!! It's a real shame I have to watch the game with the sound off :x :x :(

I wonder if they can come and similarly "curse" our football and basketball programs? Or pretty much our entire athletic department outside of Women's tennis.

We're up 9-1 and are 47-10 on the season. May we all be so cursed.

we recruit nationally and a national tv audience likely thinks we are jerks. The whistlers are a pain.
