This is a failure of imagination. They can cycle through fan submitted reaction videos if they want genuine engagement

Give it time (even though your idea isn't real-time enough to work).

Yamaha is already playing around with real-time fan reactions using sound.

I think the idea is pretty damned cool, and there's room for lots of new ideas here. I'll hold out for a virtual Disco Demolition tribute.

I'm holding out for when they start using virtual players and ditch the real teams.
