Sad to be a baseball "Fan" from Little Rock. I'm pretty sure no Yankee fan has ever expressed how their high payroll team had conquered adversity and won a title. WOW.

Every fanbase has something/a topic that can divide them or cause a "civil war".

I'll be waiting microwaving my pop corn. So the basis of your argument is that West Coast hockey fans are arrogant, pompous, f*** boys because the Ducks happen to have a "civil war" about their identity? Do you not see how ridiculous that it is? And having an argument over a team's identity is still a topic. Just as arguing over how good a team's head coach is. There is no difference.

RedRenesis Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 3 hours ago, Sykotyk said: The Penguins almost left because Lemieux couldn't get a new stadium after he was given part ownership after being their largest debtor. It never had anything to do with the fan base. But the political will to build the third major sports venue in Pittsburgh in just a few years. PA is much more fickle about it than other states so they used it as leverage and succeeded in getting their new stadium. The only thing I would add to the quoted is that this was during the time period that Pennsylvania was sorting out who would get Slots Licenses across the state. To strengthen their bid, a group, Isle of Capri, offered to build the Pens an arena for free, to the team, and to the state if they were awarded the Pittsburgh license. The Pens hitched their wagon to this proposal and it was rejected, and really left the team with no other options. It wasn't until after that rejection that the drums started getting pounded for a KC relocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like there are any local pro teams for Little Rock fans to cheer for, so you can root for anybody you want since the closest teams (Texas and St. Louis) are five hours away. Kind of hard to associate yourself with a city that far away and decide you're all in based on that geography. If it makes you feel better, most people in Arkansas are Cardinals fans, which is quite unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. Good to know we got you, worcat, the Captain of No-Fun Police, on duty to uphold the sanctuary of whole, and complete team fanbases. I feel safer now.
