>Supporting a team is an act of passion, but also of respect. Respect for our history, our people, our land. We, who were born and raised here, value our roots and what is ours. That's why we respect a local rival more than someone who chooses to support teams from outside, perpetuating a historical inequality resulting from media manipulation.

>Everyone is free to support whoever they want. But we also have the right to find this attitude ridiculous, a product of a "stray dog syndrome" that for decades has devalued Northeastern Brazilian football and strengthened a select group of clubs. Furthermore, we also have the right and the duty to preserve the safety and space of our own fans.

What does /copalib/ think of this?
