No.
It was a loaded question.
A loaded question is a trick question, which presupposes at least one unverified assumption that the person/persons being questioned is likely to disagree with......
"A common view of City fans online is that they’re militant and abusive. I’ve found a lot who aren’t and may do an article on what they have to say. That would probably paint City fans in a good light. That's a bad thing now is it?"
This is so obvious as to be puerile.
Where do you even begin? The answer is you don't.
Lee is just a bad faith actor and he's not alone in his debased profession. I don't know whether as he's as stupid as he appears, he may be faking it on the assumption that City fans are as dumb as dog biscuits.

Either way he can f**k off.
I don’t know the meaning of either of those words, should have paid attention in class ; )A common view of Sam Lee, online and offline, is that He's debilitant and delusive.

As English isn't my first language, I'm not sure about delusive, but debilitant is pretty obvious ;)I don’t know the meaning of either of those words, should have paid attention in class ; )
Your English is better than mine mate.As English isn't my first language, I'm not sure about delusive, but debilitant is pretty obvious ;)
With us possibly having a rather older fan profile than most we probably have fewer twitter users than most. I find it very difficult to believe that he rounded up 100 City fans in a few hours.who were 'reasonable' in that they agree with him.The whole issue is in total bad faith. What is the point of producing a news item about the apparent reaction of a football club's fans to media stories about their club? Given that at least 95 per cent of people don't even use
Twitter it is not valid journalism. The Athletic has lost its way entirely if this is the sort of content it is providing. He says the "common view of City fans online is they are abusive." Whose common view? The view of his pals in the newsroom or the press box? He seems to be going out of his way to alienate potential customers for his publication. This never ends well.
It's funny how we've become the ones being attacked when it would be like shooting fish out of a barrel if they pointed their attention up the East Lancs road to the cult at Talibanfield.
Definitely. City fans being called out by 'journalists' because they defend the club on twitter, when Liverpool fans smashing our coach was largely ignored, or put down to being part and parcel of the tribal nature of football. Imagine the condemnation if our fans had done that to the Liverpool team bus!
Sam Lee's response to the poster who asked him to conduct similar surveys (if you can call it that) for other teams said it all. They treat our fanbase differently and then complain loudly when they get a reaction.
If he pointed his barrel down the East Lancs Road we all know what would happen, there is no journalist brave enough to do that not even Sam Lee. Our fan base as opposed to the cult is comfortable with our club our owners and our future and that is the chemical mix that these journalists are unable to cope with. Instead he tags one of our prominent posters to try to attach him to an alleged abusive fan base when all that poster does is let us know the truth either about our club or the clubs finances and is a well respected poster on Bluemoon along with others. The one thing that does concern me with the ever grasping journalists is why have fans suddenly become the enemy on the front line because since watching City from the 50's I never recall seeing in print, attacks on a clubs fans, this is a recent phenomenon.It's funny how we've become the ones being attacked when it would be like shooting fish out of a barrel if they pointed their attention up the East Lancs road to the cult at Talibanfield.

Is the correct answer.Sam Lee isn't one of us so he can jog on.
Plus those taking millions in sponsorship money from Emirates and Rwanda. Or from Standard Chartered who've been fined a cumulative total of $1.5 billion for money laundering for terrorists and criminals, much of it for the rogue Iranian regime, and have recently been found to have facilitated big money transfers from Iran to the Taliban.And clubs who have Aeroflot amongst their sponsors perhaps, alongside Saudi Telecom.
How long will it take to get the same devoted coverage the rags and dippers get from the media maybe if we win another 5 or 6 league titles and a couple of chumps league then maybe we just might
Journalist’s consider themselves to be more intelligent than the typical tribal football fan.Definitely.

Think your spelling was a bit off. Think I've fixed itA common view of Sam Lee, online and offline, is that He's a ****
