Sometimes social media offers a good chance to vent anger ....
A fan of 'New York City FC' in the Major League Soccer (MLS USA), frustrated over the fact that the ex-Chelsea FC player Frank Lampard, has not transferred to his club directly as expected, having extended his 'loan' period at Manchester City FC instead .... in what many (including me), see as a rather sneaky move by both the player and the owners of MCFC ... has indicated his displeasure by Twitter picture post.

Very funny .... but even funnier when you realise that 'New York City FC' are actually not even a club yet. They are a brand new MLS franchise, and have yet to actually play a single game. They are scheduled to start playing in the 2015 MLS season (which starts in March 2015), and play at Yankee Stadium in New York City.
So this 'fan' is actually a supporter of club he's never seen, complaining about a player who has never played, for a club that has never played a game. Even CS Lewis character Alice in Wonderland would have had her head spinning over the absurdities of all this ..... in effect he's missing inaction.
But you have to laugh at the sense of injustice and indignation that's been done to his new club, when he's never seen them play a single game.

The reasons for following a team in the first place are akin to those for following a religion; friends and family's affiliation, geographical location, etc, and the team's performance has nothing to do with staying with them, so that someone has made a fuss out of a practically non-existant team comes as no surprise. It wouldn't make much difference if all the media pages and air-time dedicated to sport were made-up,
