Needless to say, the fans are beyond angry that the team hasn’t done anything to rectify this possum situation, even after knowing it for over a year now. Many of the fans are heavily criticizing the team for having such conditions. But there are also some fans who are making fun of the furry friend to lighten the mood.?
