To the tune of: Lonely Boy by The Black Keys
Lyrics:
Na-na, Na-Na Na-na-na
Na-na, Na-Na Na-na-na
Na-na, Na-Na Na-na-na
Na-na, Na-Na Na-na-na
Well I’ll always love you
And it’s plain to see
We stand and cheer here every day*
So if you tear my heart out
Well I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time just give me Sporting, Sporting, Sporting
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh I got a love. It's called Sporting
Oh, oh I got a love. It's called Sporting
Sporting til I die
Sporting til I die
Oh, oh-oh I got a love. It's called Sporting

Original Song:
Chant Origins:
I was listening to this song in my car on a long drive and it finally hit me the challenge in getting Sporting to fit in any other chant can be easily solved by finding verbs ending with -ing. Trying to get Sporting to rhyme with classic rhyming words in songs always seemed awkward. But by using Sporting as a noun to replace verbs a whole new world of chants opens up. And it also makes it hard for other teams to easily fit their name in. Double plus!
Heard at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park: Never
Heard from other MLS supporters groups: None - an original!
Why it works: original lyrics, incorporates Sporting well, no clapping needed, positive and supportive
Why it might not: Never been done before, not a familiar radio friendly song
