Hello, thank you for taking time to look at this survey. I am a computer scientist and massive sports fan who is tired of the constant online toxicity and negativity surrounding every aspect of the sports world. This is especially true considering that it is a modern form of tribalism where us fans have no effect on the outcome of the games, yet will belittle others and envelop sports arguments as part of our identity.
I envision a online space (website, forum, etc.) where fans can discuss sports news and games in calm, rational, and friendly way. This space would need to have a set of rules and moderations to determine what is deemed acceptable to say and what is not. Valid criticism of a team is allowed (e.g. "that team's defense let them down and the other team just far outplayed them") while outright trash-talking/unproductive comments would be removed (e.g. "that team sucks and their fans are trash people").
This survey is an initial gauge of if this is a feasible idea for me to spend time building such a site. Please feel free to answer any questions you want and skip the ones you do not. Thank you for your time, it means a lot!
