I love this thing, but I really wish other teams and fan bases weren't doing it. Though I will admit; I wish we (Argonauts and fans) started it.

France did it yesterday. Iceland is known for The Clap.

I saw the tape of that.
Same as SnowRogue, I wish other teams would not copy the original.
I think it's insulting.
Create your own thing.

My personal favourite is the national anthem at Chicago Blackhawks games where the fans cheer throughout.
It's actually bad form to cheer during a national anthem, but Chicago originated it during the Gulf War (I believe), and have done it ever since. It is their tradition now.
I've experienced it live three times now and it is awesome to be at the Madhouse on Madison during the anthem.

A lot of Vikings had the clap ... all that raping and pillaging.
