Just use jazz hands instead.

Can you imagine 12,000 fans all using jazz hands when a goal goes in.

Not sure it would go down too well either in a minute's clapping for a recently deceased player or official.


Manchester University student union bans clapping - Clapping out, jazz hands in at university
They should sit in the directors box at the City they never clap there either ;)

Can't get the image out of my head of the entire crowd all standing up and just giving jazz hands. ;)

Or as they say in Japan, "No Crapping!"

How can clapping be a problem for someone who is deaf, surely they can't hear it?
Well there are obviously different degrees of deafness, from partial hearing to totally deaf.

I kind of like the sentiment, but in practice it would all just be a little daft and like I say, if you wanted a one minute's applause for someone who has just passed away, seeing a crowd of jazz hands would be quite laughable.

Swear this story pops up every year. Student politics gonna student politics. Just a bunch of no mates on a power trip (like all politics then really)

It’s BSL clapping to be fair so I guess you’d have to ask them, but I’d imagine deaf people aren’t so great at picking up auditory cues?

I might build that into my funeral plan, mind you.

I asked my son about this. He was born totally deaf and uses BSL to communicate (which I also use). Neither of us have heard about the so-called jazz thing? Seems to me it's just another internet myth.

Manchester University have banned clapping, whooping and cheering? ......Pah! Old news!

They've been doing that for weeks down at Old Trafford.
