“In many cases fans were treated like animals”. In your evolutionary worldview we are just animals. In your worldview why should animals be treated with respect?
The reason is your stealing from the Christian world view to make sense of your idea of respect and dignity etc!
In your worldview all the animals were on Noah’s Ark. Odd that when they got off the polar bears headed north to the Artic, not stopping anywhere en route, kangaroos went south, again not stopping anywhere en route, bisons headed west… 🙄💩🤭
