If I watched something like the Karras outburst as a neutral observer of a game, it would not have entered my mind that the player shouting these profanities into the crowd was a class act and great sportsman because of it. Even if someone had made a dirty play on him before and there's legitimate anger about it. These whole celebrations make me a bit uneasy.
Yeah you’re right, and that is where fandom comes into play. Neutrally these are both things I look at and say hmm, then move on. But I’m not neutral here.
