Why using the “Hey Ya” chant on goal kicks is a must

Related Topics: Hey Ya!

Atlanta United have a problem they’re trying to solve and are looking to the famous rap group Outkast to help. While not trying to pat ourselves on the back, an idea originating from a fanpost wrote on DSS has apparently gotten the approval of the club. A user named K21Taylor wrote the post with the genius idea for fans to chant “Hey Ya!” on goal kicks in an attempt to drown out a small group of fans using the “P***” chant, which is of a homophobic nature.

The team told Doug Roberson of the AJC that the idea is one they would like to hear fans use.
