‘Ho ho, hey hey, welcome to the USA’: Pope Francis greeted with selection of football chants

I've learned that DC Catholics waiting for the Pope can't chant to save their lives. After all that practice at sporting events?#PopeInDC

Is "ho ho hey hey welcome to the usa" really the appropriate chant for the pope??

They are chanting, "ho ho, hey hey, welcome to the USA." Which seems weird to chant at the Pope.

"Ho ho, hey hey, welcome to the USA" is the chant the crowd decided to use to welcome the Pope into this country, just FYI.

The chant as Pope Francis walks out onto US soil and greets Obama: "Ho ho, hey hey, welcome to the U-S-A."

When the "Hey Hey, Ho Ho" chant perpetually reminds you of anti-Walker protesters in Madison, even when it's a pro-Pope chant…@samigilkes

So, the chant for the Pope sounds sort of like a #blacklivesmatter chant but mostly just screams. Yeah, screams.

They could have stepped up the chant game for the Pope…
