And yet, hooligans are seen as criminals, Raiders fans as unwelcoming, and Yankee fans just got laughed at in the sports world for booing Stanton at their first home game.
There are examples of it, but none of them are positive, and all of them are low bar. If you’re happy with a toxic fan culture, so be it, but I like taxbuster for standing up and saying something about it instead of lazily just hitting the ignore button.
And hey, maybe you could even excuse a toxic fan culture if there was some genuine passion to it. But go to the Dome, it’s a library. You want to excuse toxic behaviour under the name of being a “fan”? Well if you listen to the crowd in Oakland, New York, or Liverpool, you’ll hear what fans sound like, even when the team is losing. And it’s not crickets.
