A Blue Jackets fan recently crossed a line by mocking the struggling Arizona Coyotes franchise during a game. Sports fandom often involves good-natured banter, but this incident went too far.
Being a Coyotes fan has been tough lately. The team missed the playoffs, and the off-ice drama surrounding ownership has been relentless. This provided ample material for opponents, as demonstrated by the Blue Jackets fan's sign suggesting the team's relocation to Utah.
This behavior is extremely disrespectful. It's disheartening to witness a fan base lose its team, highlighting a concerning trend in the sport. Adding to the issue, the arena staff displayed the sign on the jumbotron, amplifying the message.
While it's unfortunate for Arizona fans, the silver lining is that hockey will now reach new fans in Utah. However, this also raises concerns about how ruthless their fandom might become.
Do you think the Columbus Blue Jackets took it too far with this mockery of the Arizona Coyotes relocation?
