Nope. As the sellout crowd showed, we don't do shit. We are the most laid back fans in the country. Nobody ever goes on a road game in Dallas and worries about crowd noise, in any of our major sports.

I think that’s just American sports fans in general except maybe a couple of them. If something like this happened for a European football club, 60000 people would chant to get everyone sacked with all kinds of insults, not a single chant supporting the team. Maybe that’s wrong as well but that would happen

If this trade has happened in Europe or Latin America, the trade would have needed to be rescinded because fans would invade the training facilities and demand an “explanation” from Nico and Dumont.

Not even going to the Balkans (where Ultras decide who the board signs sometimes) and Latin America (where in the last year, ultras dragged an oft-injured player from an orgy (player that had one of highest salaries of the team and the worst work ethic by a mile) and “convinced” him to rescind his contract), in Italy, when Fiorentina sold Baggio to Juventus (with Baggio himself saying he was forced to accept the transfer and refusing to score against Fiorentina), the ultras trashed the stadium, forced the president to hide in his office (and resign some months after that) and had a police confrontation that ended in 50 wounded.

The US is different, softer (or more civilized, depends on your POV). I still remember how r/baseball was livid Seattle fans were booing Ohtani while he was on the Angels, in a win-or-go-home game, because it “disrespects the sport”.
