How do RYS participants feel about the Black Stars?

What RYS measured
Up to the 200 most recent posts whose searchableText contains “black”, after company-approval and public SEO eligibility checks and transparent same-name disambiguation.
Emotion selections recorded on the included public posts related to Ghana national football team (Black Stars). The reactions are to the individual posts and the events or claims they describe.
reactionSelections is the sum of ten emotion counters. An account may choose more than one emotion on a post.
Positive is like, love, happy, and laugh. Neutral is shock. Negative is dislike, angry, sad, cry, and disgusted. Positive balance excludes neutral shock.
What RYS did not measure
This is self-selected RateYourSociety platform activity, not a scientific poll, representative supporter sample, population estimate, or team approval rating.
RYS does not verify that every reacting account is Ghanaian or a Black Stars supporter, so this report cannot establish how either group feels overall.
reactingAccountsAcrossPosts is a sum of per-post account counts, not unique people. One account may react to several included posts.
Counts are platform-recorded values and have not been independently verified. They can change as activity or public availability changes.
