New York Knicks fans aren’t too happy with their matchup. They seem to be taking this rivalry into their own hands, showing their disdain for the Philadelphia 76ers.
New York Knicks Fans Are Unhappy?
While not typical, it’s unsurprising when fans show their unhappiness through different acts of disrespect. However, that’s usually when their favorite team is losing. Contrastingly, the Knicks are winning their current series against Philadelphia. They recently pushed through to get their third series win to the Sixers’ single victory against them.
They celebrate their victory as the Knicks lead in the fourth game, 97-92. As they celebrate, they step and jump on 76ers memorabilia given out through the playoffs.
They chant Knicks in five, alluding to the possibility that New York will take the series away in game five.
Understandably, this video has garnered multiple responses from fans and users alike.
Users Express Different Sentiments
Many users call the fans out for their overtly aggressive celebration. Considering they’ve already won, they don’t need to disrespect the other fandom’s items and memorabilia. Even some Knicks fans call out the people in the video for doing what they’re doing.
Predictably, some other users take a jab at how these fans look.
Meanwhile, others equate their celebration to the Middle East’s political protests against the USA and most of Western occupation.
However, some users don’t see the harm in a little celebration while disrespecting the opposing fans. After all, they won the game the other day, so they got to do what they wanted within reason—and this celebration was within reason.
With boisterous celebration comes expectant predictions. Others call out the Knicks fans and how they should have the “series in five” they’ve been yelling about.
While harmless, a massive gathering like this could become something worse. Although it seems nothing wrong happened, do you think winning fans are allowed to do this?
