Yes, all clubs are guilty of spreading their own forms of propaganda when it suits. But it's about quantity, not quality.
The problem is that here in SA the Crows have way more supporters who are prepared to take their word for anything, more than Port, the SANFL clubs, and probably both political parties. Their bullshit very easily becomes the dominant voice in the footy discussion, if not general SA news.
PS Good point DW.
We live in South Australia, of course there's going to be more quantity from the Crows & Port.
Do yourself a favour, only read the Herald Sun, only podcast Melbourne radio sports shows & go on bigfooty.com. You'll see all clubs have sheep supporters who believe the spin.
If you read back I actually haven't defended the Crows spin. I've only had a go atthe hypocrites & haters that think the Crows are the only club that spin shit or have sheep supporters.
Mic, I also admit it & call out the Crows when they do something wrong & so do many other Crows supporters. If you only go by the muppets who write for the Advertiser or the callers to Adelaide radio stations then I guess you're right about them being sheep but thats not a reflection of us all.
Dogwatcher, read back & you'll find it wasn't me getting upset by it.
