@Rory_Wfc@WWFC_ST21 I don't think I worded it well. I mean the fact that there are non-local fans is irrelevant *to me*. My connection to my local club is not impacted. If the club is owned by corporate or state non-fans who treat everyone as customers, it does make me feel less connected.
@WWFC_ST21 I agree. I'm not arguing that. It just has little real impact on me if there are non-local fans. It actively lessens my feelings of connection to the club if it is owned by corporate or state non-fans. You absolutely might not feel that way.
@Yanited1892@WWFC_ST21 I think I just have a hard time separating it in my mind. I'm being reductive here, but in my bones it feels more and more like we're saying "These plastic glory hunters pfft, we're the true pure Samsung fans." I'm just some guy though!
@poshea84@WWFC_ST21 I said I agree. But it just seems to me more and more like a distinction that doesn't matter as much. You are likely a better fan than me. Every year it feels like my connection to my local team is lessened by foreign corporate owners more than foreign fans.
@Yanited1892@WWFC_ST21 Sure. I can only speak to how I feel, and my connection to my local team has been eroded much more by foreign ownership than foreign fans. My dad supported the team, it feels like I'm now supporting a corporation who views me (and our Indonesian friend) as customers.
@JeremyPenter I hate to say it, but probably the cliche answer of Half Life. The 5+ minute tram ride was torture for young me. I got through it because I only could buy 2 games a year back then so there was absolutely no choice, and I bet if you had asked me I would have said it was great...
@TSMViss I'm afraid it is The Wire. But I can definitely see the argument that comedy is more difficult to execute than drama, and comedy that works over a long period of time is almost impossible to do.
