"Unforgivable! How dare he desecrate our Hanshin Tigers' tradition! He's such a jerk!"
"He better not show up at Koshien — or we'll show him what hell looks like!"
"We must shut him up with victory! Such disgrace must be repaid in full!"
After Lin Guanglai's comments at the pre-match press conference for the Japan series were spread by major media outlets, his "Colonel Sanders Curse" remark quickly went viral throughout the Kansai region and all across Japan, sparking a massive frenzy and a fan conflict.
The Hanshin Tigers fan forums and social media exploded instantly, anger and humiliation spreading among them like wildfire, with some extremists even issuing "death threats" to Lin Guanglai himself.
Meanwhile, many other fan groups, including SoftBank and Giant fans, banded together to express their support and solidarity for Lin Guanglai.
