In 1999, Glitter was convicted of downloading child pornography in England, and in 2006 of child sexual abuse charges in Vietnam. After the second conviction was upheld in court, the NFL asked teams to stop playing the song. Glitter was dismayed by this result as he is a fan of the San Diego Chargers and had choreographed some of the team's cheerleading cadences in 1989. The NFL allowed a cover version of the song by the Tube Tops 2000 to be played, but in 2012, the NFL instructed teams to "avoid" the song following negative reaction from British media to the New England Patriots' use of the song. The New Jersey Devils replaced the song in 2013, with the team stating that it wished to create a more positive in-arena atmosphere (alluding to a chant of "Hey, you suck!", done in time to the song by fans). In 2014, "Billboard" reported that the song was slowly falling out of favour due to both the controversies, and teams electing to replace it with newer songs.
