Strange music selections in professional sporting events.

I've never been a fan of pop or other music during play in a sport event. I'll listen to music in my own personal capacity but see no reason for it to be played at professional sporting events. Some music may increase morale in some players & some music, certain players might hate & be upset when it's played which could affect their play. In this case, the game's outcome could be directly affected by the music played during the game. I don't think the music played during sport's matches benefits anyone except to make some background noise hence we get types of music played where there is no market for it; like British pop played at Latin American sports events & pimp rap music from USA played at east European sporting events. Maybe it's for a reason but it makes no sense to me. So if I were to have it my way I'd prefer only notifying sounds made when a goal or point is scored in a game, this would avoid players & referees being distracted during play by sounds which sound like a referee's call, referee's whistle or some other distracting sound. Disappointment (or "womp womp") sounds for failed attempts or misses in a game also affects player morale. I can only vouch for bands that play brass & drum music during a game, again, no whistles to cause confusion in a game from the brass & drum bands either.

Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups.

List of Ngoni / Nguni nations : • Bhaca • Hlubi • Mpondo • Ndebele (northern Ndebele in Mthwakazi & southern Ndebele in Gauteng, South Africa) • Ngoni / Jere / Jele (mainly in Malawi, northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Zambia) • Nhlangwini    • Shangaan  • Swazi  • Tembu • Xhosa • Zizi • Zulu Altogether, twelve (12) "Nguni" groups are known to exist. From my knowledge in any case.  Bhaca, Hlubi, Nhlangwini, Swazi & Zizi are the Mbo Entity . The Mbo Entity often declassifies itself from the Nguni group. Nhlangwini & Swazi are under a Dlamini dynasty while the Hlubi & Zizi are also Dlamini tribes. Ngoni & Shangaan are of Ndwandwe origin (a tribe assimilated by the Zulu Empire). Bhaca, Hlubi, Ndebele, Nhlangwini, Shangaan, Zizi & some Mpondo are often classified as Zulu. While it's unknown whether Mpondo & Xhosa qualify as Nguni, they are often grouped as Nguni. Using family groups to classify :  • Mbo • Mpo...

The M. M. Opinion Journal

Ponderings of the Man from Mpofana is getting cluttered & has several already outdated works, so I'll be blogging on The M. M. Opinion Journal  blog in future. 

Concept of a Ngoni Federation.

For all who might still be lost as to who is what, here is a Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups .  While a Nguni superstate might not work, a Nguni/Ngoni Federation might. This would involve doing some administration & building some currently non-existing boards & infrastructure. The plan being to build a functioning & successful ethno-federation under one motive to develop Nguni/Ngon i identity & livelihoods of citizens in Nguni/Ngoni territories. Bearing in mind that we do not all live in the same countries so the laws of the respective countries we live under would need to be obeyed.  The Plan :  • Schools that share a similar syllabus . These schools would have to teach their respective Nguni/Ngoni languages as a mandatory language. For schools in Ngoni territories who no longer speak a Nguni/Ngoni language, the Zulu language could be the default language. • Sports academies associated with the respect...
