Does Iceland Have The Most Intimidating Slow Clap In All Of The Land? I'd Imagine So
Icelandic athletics haven’t quite been the same since their hockey team lost to USA in the gold medal game at the Junior Goodwill Games (contractually obligated to reference Mighty Ducks once a day). I mean, what do you expect from them? Iceland’s total population is less than 350,000 people. They’re somewhere between St. Louis and Tampa Bay in terms of population. It’s an island in the Norwegian Sea. Kind of hard to produce some top-level talent in anything aside from Scandinavian smokes. With that being said, their fans know how to put on a fucking clinic when it comes to the slow clap.
I guess they refer to this as the “Viking Clap”, which only adds to the intimidation factor. That’s pretty much half the population of Iceland sounding like they’re ready to go to goddamn war against France at EuroBasket. Obviously it didn’t work because Iceland sucks at sports and lost by more than 30. But for those 45 seconds, the French had to be shitting themselves. They’re already pussies as it is. Now imagine you’ve got an army of Vikings ready to attack on command. You run down the court thinking you’ve got an easy layup and next thing you know you’ve got a thousand spears coming your way and an axe to the face. No thank you.
It’s just a damn shame. Iceland fans deserve so much better.
