Why are Port more hated than the Crows?

Port Adelaide is the equivalent of the MAGA movement. Not a lot of facts, just nationalistic BS.
Odd take. Considering the Crows' entire marketing strategy is revolved around state based patriotism, "The Pride of South Australia" Stare Colours, State Moniker, State shaped new logo, "Made From South Australia" theme. Would this not be the definition of MAGA type marketing?

Crows in the 90s had Modra and he was cool

Port have shit fans and ruined a perfectly reasonable INXS song and are dreadful chokers as a team
Your team literally let us come back from 41 pts down late in the 3rd this year to let us kick the last 6 goals of the game and run over you...

Not that we're not chokers, but Hawks fans especially this year should be the last one to throw stones.
Need I bring up the Sicily set shot too?
 
There are 119 reasons why I have softer spot for Port than I do the Crows who I think used to have a pretty good record against Geelong from the late 90s to around the 2005. I must be one of the few exceptions to the rule, I disliked the Crows but begrudgingly respected them in that period.

That I said back in the late 90s there was this oddball goofy teacher at a new school that I moved to that claimed he was from Geelong but barracked for Port. For some reason though he was prone from time to time to go on weird off tangent diatribes in class about why he moved out of Geelong (i.e the usual meth town and other nonsense) and explain why he didn't barrack for Geelong (handbagger references), deciding once he left Geelong to barrack for Port instead or maybe he already supported the Power before he left, who knows.

I don't recall ever letting anybody know that I was Geelong supporter at that school but it was possible that I did and somehow a classmate told this goofball about it and he did this to get a rise out of me or something. Didn't work, I just thought it was weird and uncertain whether it was comedy act put on specifically for me.
 
Because they've had about 15 crowd incidents just against the crowd since they joined. Racism like throwing a banana at Eddie Betts. Plenty more.
 
After reading everyones in depth comments my reason is simple and its the same reason why i dislike Richmond

You have been kicking our fking asses for ages

Being hated is a good thing, no?
In politics and sport?

So, Port is a top tier club.
 
Uncanny resemblance to Freo will do it for me, albeit with a Premiership.
Other than being the second AFL club in their state I wouldn't have thought Fremantle and Port Adelaide have much in common. Port Adelaide willingly bringing the SA-equivalent-of-Collingwood, Us-vs-Everyone stuff with them to the AFL is why they're financially behind Fremantle.

Bogan count is high among both supporter groups.
