CMV: East Coast sports fans are not "tougher" than West Coast sports fans.
My San Francisco 49ers are playing the Philadelphia Eagles today. The discourse is typical. 49ers fans are "soft west coast wine drinkers" while Eagles fans are "tough, real sports fans." This "wisdom" that "everybody knows" is bullshit.
*I'm sincere in this post but mean it in a light hearted way. I disapprove of all violence and want everyone to enjoy sports in a safe and friendly way. Just describing things that have happened.*
Reasons:
\- I grew up going to Candlestick Park. It was a shitty awful stadium inside the worst most crime filled part of San Francisco.
\- Let's not even get started on how buns the Oakland Coliseum was.
\- Several people have been legitimately injured and killed in violence between SF Giants Fans and Dodgers fans. AFAIK no one has been killed in east coast rivalries such as Red Sox / Yankees.
\- When Raiders were in Oakland, the NFL had to stop Niners / Raiders preseason games because too many people were getting shot and stabbed after games. I'm unaware of any similar situation on the east coast.
\- "Philadelphia fans threw batteries at Santa." Yeah...back in the 60s. You weren't even alive when that happened. We're talking about modern day boomer.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that tension shows up immediately Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From where I sit, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s the key detail here.
If we’re being honest, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that tension shows up immediately That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.
Looking at this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why the comments look the way they do Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why opinions are all over the place This could age very differently in a week.
I get the idea, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where people will push back Time will tell.
Bluntly speaking, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.
To be fair, the timing matters more than people admit and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Feels like there’s more coming here.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.
Stepping back, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s the part people are stuck on At least from my perspective.
Stepping back, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.
Honestly, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s what makes this interesting. This could age very differently in a week. At least from my perspective.
this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
To be fair, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That part stands out. This probably isn’t the last word on it.

From my side, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where it gets complicated

From where I sit, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s just how it reads to me.
Not gonna lie, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that tension shows up immediately This could age very differently in a week.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
I get the idea, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s the impression it gives me.

Putting bias aside, this feels rushed rather than thought through which turns this into more of a debate

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s what people are responding to That’s just my read on it.
Real talk, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.
If you zoom out, the timing matters more than people admit which turns this into more of a debate At least from my perspective.
