That’s classy from The Port. If you want a similar vibe to the Fever buy your tickets there I guess!
For some people they’re into CrossFit, others like eating kale and organics, some have strong religious views, others strong politics, for some their sexuality or gender identity is focal, for others their ethnicity, history and culture…and for some it’s their private thing and for others it’s an important public statement of who they are. It’s something of a new thing for NZ to combine that with supporting a football club. The old Aussie league went too far with ethnic clubs that often spilled over into violence between groups that clashed in the distant past. We see a lot of support for rainbow communities in a general sense, if not so much so that we see a lot of openly gay or bisexual famous footballers.
And as Doloras said above you’re talking about people who are sincere enough about these values to go to Gaza and drive aid trucks.
But at the end of the day if it’s all about the football and positivity in the end that’s fine by me.
And the Fever is exclusive- for example we’re not that keen on violent or racist fascist inspired fans who are part of active support in parts of Europe. But that’s not much of a big call in NZ.
In order to be an active support zone with standing and tifos they must have been in contact with the club. And if they haven’t been that’s a particularly poor start that should be rectified asap, because standing zones are not a given and do have to be granted imo.
If there’s no mutual respect as fans there’ll be a problem, but so far there’s only been negativity from one direction. Though I also think it’s rather poor to disparage your ownership in the specific, rather than the ownership model in general compared to say Germany.
But yeh, we’ll see I guess! The football side of things has been impressive this week.
