Former MIP Jalen Rose's daughter, Mariah Rose, is a social media influencer with over 600,000 followers on TikTok. Mariah's claim to fame and her vision have been highlighted by her X bio which reads "explaining sports, for hotties" with basketball content forming a major part of her posts.

However, a recent post by Jalen Rose's daughter marks a visit to the UEFA Champions League tie between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City and it is safe to say that the influencer was shocked by the fan culture that is associated with European football.

At the Parc Des Princes stadium, home to Paris Saint-Germain, Rose was in attendance for their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against English Champions Manchester City. The home team came back to win 4-2 in an exciting contest, and the atmosphere was electric, evident from the footage shared by Rose.

About the atmosphere, Jalen Rose's daughter said:

"Y'all, I done been to the NBA Finals. I done been to the NFL games. I done been to all type of sporting events. I ain't never been to no s**t like this. They've been singing and hollering for the last two hours in the rain. I don't know if you guys can tell, but this s**t is mad steep!"

Clearly taken aback by the culture of chants and singing that is common to European football venues, Mariah goes on to add:

"They not playing at all! They talking to each other. When did they get together and have rehearsals?"

Mariah's experience at the 48,000-seater in Paris highlights the allure of European football and the atmospheric experience common to older clubs in European football. Comparisons to NBA and NFL games, however, have sparked some rage amongst American fans with respect to whether the European footballing atmosphere is better in comparison to the American sporting experience.

Jalen Rose's daughter has received backlash from American fans for her comparisons to the NBA Finals and the NFL.

Whether or not she intended to raise interactions to her post by comparing the European Football experience to American sports is unclear, but Mariah Rose has certainly triggered many American sports fans with her praise for the atmosphere at the PSG game.

A fan has responded to Rose stating that the average NFL/CFB crown is 10 times louder than the Champions League game in question and states that it is a misconception to associate chants and flares with having more passion for the sport.

Other notable fan responses include:

"The Chiefs hold the world record of 142.2 decibels for loudest crowd" stated a fan, stating that the statistically loudest atmosphere belongs to the NFL.
"A sport so boring that the crowd has to entertain themselves with singing and chants 100% of the game" remarked another fan.

Football remains the most popular sport in the world and Jalen Rose's daughter attending one of the most high-profile games of the season so far meant that she got to attend one of the most ferocious crowds in football. The fan wars triggered by the same, however, seem to be dominating X with American fans and European/football fans locking horns and fighting stadium atmospherics with each other.

Coming from the daughter of an NBA player, Mariah Rose's statements are bound to have hurt the sentiments of some of the NBA and NFL faithful. Jalen Rose's daughter's comments have set the table for a tasty debate and has farmed considerable engagement, sparking a fierce sporting debate.
