I wasn't a huge fan of the banner thing because it could have put 12's in greater danger while tailgating or after the game and I had friends there. If I were to give an assessment of the banner vs. what the Niners fans are planning, I have to give more credit to the 12's.
Flying the banner was smarter, positive and supportive of the team and fans, and directly focused on that weeks game. It was smarter because it could not be manipulated by anyone since it was in the sky. It supported the Hawks team and fans which is positive. It only occurred on the day of the event so it was focused on that specific matchup.
The Niner billboards are not as smart, negative and demeaning, and are meant to stay up for multiple weeks that have nothing to do with the Hawks/Niners rivalry. The billboards will get manipulated, although I do not condone that behavior. Even a digital billboard can get hacked. The content of the billboard does not support the Niners or the fans, it just insults (or at least they think so) the Hawks and their fans and has a negative affect overall. They are going to be up during times that have nothing to do with the rivalry. To me, it is purely retaliatory and immature. I am sure the Niner fans will disagree though.
