teammate Josh Downs\u2019 podcast<\/a> that the Rams make up for a quiet fan base by using the stadium sound speakers to pump in fake noise.<\/p>\n\u201cThey play fake crowd noise because their crowd isn\u2019t that turnt,\u201d Bynum said. \u201cThe Rams, they have a good fanbase, but they\u2019ve moved around so much where it\u2019s not like true fans. It\u2019s more of like a celebrity show in there. It\u2019s like, yeah, I know this is fake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Downs asked Bynum, \u201cThey\u2019re playing fake crowd noise?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause on third downs, you see the crowd is sitting down, but somehow there\u2019s noise coming from somewhere,\u201d Bynum said. \u201cWe were just looking around last year [when Bynum played for the Vikings], we\u2019re like, \u2018Hold on, that noise is coming from the speakers. Because this crowd, nobody\u2019s turnt up right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Downs said, \u201cI didn\u2019t even know that was legal to play crowd noise\u201d<\/p>\n
Bynum answered, \u201cI didn\u2019t think so, either.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not legal to play crowd noise over the stadium sound system, but it\u2019s an allegation that has been made against several NFL teams over the years. The Falcons were fined and stripped of a fifth-round draft pick in 2015 after a finding that they had pumped in fake crowd noise. The Rams could be subject to discipline from the league as well, if Bynum\u2019s suspicions were found to be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Colts are traveling to Los Angeles to play the Rams on Sunday, and one Colts player says…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-185327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
