This thread has evolved into a real issue, ripe for discussion and if at all possible, resolution: Is it na na na na boo boo (four x na) or just na na na boo boo (two x na, a slight hesitation, and then one more na ahead of the boo boo)? **
It may be possible that those keeping the rumor in the air have in mind the following attribution rule from filbert's guidlnes (see the "Guidelines" section above).. By not mentioning names, is it O.K. to talk about rumors? Here's the attribution rule (does the rule only apply to rumors of players leaving SDSU?)::
The "attribution rule" for posterity:
If you feel the urge to spread rumors about players (in any sport) leaving SDSU, CITING YOUR SOURCE IS NOW REQUIRED.
Acceptable sources are: Printed or broadcast news media (or web sites of printed or broadcast news media), coaches, and players on the team, or other person, BY NAME. No other sources will be acceptable on this board. Some unnamed person you talked to in the Union, in HPER, or anywhere else is not an acceptable source. Other Internet boards and blogs are not acceptable sources.
Failure to cite your source will result in the post and/or the thread being pulled and, quite possibly, depending on how the Moderator's day is going, the rumor-monger getting banned permanently from this board.
Note also that spreading the rumor in the form of a question (i.e. "Did anybody hear the rumor that Joe Player is leaving the team?"; or "What happens if Joe Player leaves the team?" falls under this rule. Any other methods of rumor-mongering which in the opinion of the Moderators is not properly sourced falls under this rule.
This board is intended to SUPPORT SDSU athletics. Unsourced rumors about SDSU student-athletes are destructive to the morale of the team and the entire SDSU community, and as such do not support SDSU athletics.
**First time I heard one of my kids say "na na na boo boo", and having heard other youngsters say that before, I wondered it kids under age four have secret meetings in which they discuss things that people apparently forget as they pass from age four to age five or maybe six. Can any adult tell you what na na na boo boo (or, na na na na boo boo) means? I think all three year olds know but they're not saying. Three-year olds may be aliens.
