One of the Warriors supporters also added that the win and lose is the part of the game and everyone should team spirit. The Kings played a good game in the finals and that’s why they won the match, but this doesn’t mean that people get the right to disrespect someone or any team. 

Another social media user called the act was not at all funny and cool, people should act in a civilized manner and do not forget the etiquettes to respect someone. One asserted, "This is shameful act, and people must condemn it as it is not the way treat someone who has lost a game.”

Netizens also noted that Warriors have tried everything to win the trophy, they also played tactics to kick Trinbago Knight Riders out of the game as the match was held in Guyana. Now, they are targeting the fans who are celebrating true victory in the tournament which is shameful for them. 

People also stated that the loss of the Warriors in the game is a lesson for them as they were over-confident about finishing the league stage in first position.
