I actually find it kind of funny because it clearly is saying that they are against your team. It does not mean a specific team, it means "your team." It took a little to get the joke, but clearly a joke. Nothing was said that was substantive or even specific.

Peace

Which means, if there are fans of both teams present, they're against both teams, trying to make both of them lose. If someone can find a way an official can do that, I'd love to hear about it.

To show how absurd fans can be.

Back in the mid-1990s, our YMCA had a Sunday afternoon men's league at one of its branches. We had a hard fought game between two all black teams and my partner was white like me. After the game a wife from one of the players of the losing team ran up to my partner and me and told us that we were to two most racists honkies she had ever seen, !

I agree that it's nonsense. Both teams are black, so it makes no sense to be racist if you are favoring black people over (drumroll please) black people.
