Can Fans Play Nice Together?

Can Fans Play Nice Together?

Sports fans embody a level of passion that can only be described as fanatical, they're so vested in the success and failure of the teams they love that their vision of respect for opposing fans can sometimes be blurred. We want to explore the question, can fans play nice together? We believe they can, the majority of sports fans coexist every day at sporting events all around the World. Its unfortunate the actions of a few bad seeds can bring such negative attention to the such a massively positive group.

Sports fans are represented by such a wide range of characters and personalities that it is actually pretty amazing we don't hear more incidents of mass hysteria at sporting events. The fact of the matter is fans have more in common with each other then not! Can fans play nice together? The answer is yes, definitely... We believe over the next few years the Sports Fan Conference will not only build bridges and bonds of sports fans in other genres, but it will establish relationships that will help end negativity of fans visiting opposing team games!!!

All fans and I mean ALL FANS have the right to express their passion, their support, rep their teams colors and cheer for their team whether they're at home or on the road... No fan of any sport or team should be fearful of wearing or cheering at any stadium or arena and this is an area fans most police ourselves... There's no excuse for behavior that prevents opposing fans from expressing the same passion for their team that you have for yours and if you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem... Yes fans can play nice together and its up to the fans to ensure we do!!!

Can Fans Play Nice Together? Absolutely! 

 

The time has come for sports fans to be more responsible for our actions and more respectful of fellow fans! We can not continue to ignore the issues that we all know exist in the stadiums and arenas we all occupy during our favorite sporting events. We can not place all the responsibility of the organizations we cheer for, it has to come down to all of us stepping up and policing ourselves... Sports fans are the most amazing group of loyal, passionate and supportive people... We should welcome opposing fans with open arms of respect, hell the best way to give an opposing fan grief is the cheering your team onto victory! Please keep this in mind, lets stand for fans! Can fans play nice together? Absolutely!
