What’s the point in these threads. What is actually contributed by posting this? It just gives people more negative views of the fan base.
I suppose I'll answer your question with different questions:
1)
What's the point of making any Armchair GM team at all? (Do you think Kyle Dubas will take notice and get it done for you?)
2)
What's actually contributed by better Armchair GM teams? (Do you think two fan bases have ever 100% agreed on a proposal?)
3)
What's the point in worrying about what others think of you? (Do you think people's negative feelings are actually due to dumb fans?)
4)
What's the issue with making a team that's clearly impossible? (Do you worry someone will take it serious and start ripping their hair out?)
I can make the following statements with 100% certainty:
1)
People dislike the Leafs because the media shoves them down everyone's throat, especially in Canada (imagine being stuck with TSN / SN as a Sens fan).
2)
The excess attention creates a cognitive dissonance in everyone exposed to it (assuming they aren't Leafs fans and would prefer coverage of their own team).
3)
This dissonance applies to the vast majority of non-Leaf fans you encounter online (if they patrol hockey sites / forums, they likely watch hockey related media).
4)
It makes them inherently dislike / disagree with any Leaf fan discussions or positive fan content (some are conscious of their internal bias, but many are not).
5)
The problem is amplified because there's more Leaf fans posting online than other fan bases (they can't attack the media, but they sure can attack online users).
6)
End result = an army with the one mindset: all Leaf fans are dumb, Leaf players are over-hyped, Leaf content should be trolled (you can't change their mind).
So get used to it ... Leaf fans are equally as stupid as the rest ... but even their most reasonable opinions and proposals will be attacked by a majority of the community.
And that will never change by the slightest margin .. no matter how much you work to change peoples "views of the fan base".
But to answer your question ... "What’s the point in this thread?" ... I did it for fun my dude ... What are you here for?
