A trip to social networks is enough to see that certain teams and certain players are particularly hated by Internet users… So with the approach of the playoffs, an American site has decided to carry out the investigation to determCreate the most hated franchises state by state. And the results are not surprising.
Supporterism is not just about supporting your team through good times and bad, following the results, or even watching the games. It’s obviously a vital part of a fan’s life, but there are others. For example, to be a supporter is also to viscerally “hate” the historical rival. It is unthinkable to see a fan of the Lakers also adore the Celtics or the Clippers…
Disliking other franchises is also part of the DNA of high performance sport and the NBA. To determine the most hated franchises in the league, the site ClutchPoints relayed a survey conducted by Bet Online on social networks … And the results are anything but amazing!
