The Tabuchis are Yomiuri Giants haters as well. An uncle everyone suspected was secretly a Yomiuri fan was ostracized for years. https://twitter.com/takumeister/status/1249516971093299203
But seriously, there are parts of Osaka where if you walked around in a Yomiuri Giants hat, you’d be slapped.
And true story: I’m named Hiroko partly because my dad so hates the Yomiuri Giants, the year I was born it was basically down to Giants and Hiroshima carp — and *he named his only child* Hiroko 広子 to cheer on Hiroshima. *Even tho we have no connection to Hiroshima*
