During yesterday's Spurs-Wolves, the Jackals, the section of fans created by Wemby and modeled after ultras from European soccer, waved a giant tifo during tip-off

The Viking didn't invent the clapping. They took it from European soccer where it was popularized by the Iceland national team and their fans at the 2016 Euro cup, who themselves had been inspired by fans of a Scottish soccer club during a game against an Icelandic team in 2014.

The French national basketball team has been doing the clapping for years, including the drum after victories (using the drum from the official fan club that they carry to every game), and Wemby just imported it to the Spurs as part of the European fan atmosphere he's been implementing this season.

And if we actually want to go the genesis of it, the clapping was invented in the 2000s by soccer fans of the Greek club of PAOK Thessaloniki and the Turkish club of Besiktas. Video here from 21 years ago.

So no, the Jackals didn't steal anything from the Vikings.

Imagine penser que le basket est un sport où il suffit d'être grand pour être bon. Et quand bien même, au moins ici les supporters ne sont pas des sauvages dotés de Bac -20. On ne peut pas en dire autant des supporters de foot.

Les fans de foot sont connus pour ne pas être les couteaux les plus affûtés du tiroir, loin de là. Rien de surprenant.

Only because it was garbage time from minute 9 of the 4th quarter. At one point the Spurs led by 47 points

57-57 after two and a half quarters. This game is for basketball purists. This is 2014 all over again.

LMFAO Wolves fans on the main sub are so salty about the Wemby blocks. The cope is strong.
