Unfortunately, it’s my duty to inform you that this song is problematic. The problem is that it’s crap.

Sometimes you don't agree with an opinion or an argument, but you can still be entertained by the curmudgeonly way it is made.  Such is the case with PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE IT’S CRAP: IT’S TIME TO DO AWAY WITH ‘SWEET CAROLINE’ by Matt Reigle.  

Reigle is very clear he doesn't like the song.

There are few things as great as a stadium atmosphere. Thousands of people, all banding together for the common goal of cheering on their team. And yet, it’s a fragile thing, because the mood can be shattered by blasting the wrong song through the stadium PA. For me, one of those wrong songs is one that — for some reason — is beloved by millions: Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.”

Unfortunately, it’s my duty to inform you that this song is problematic. The problem is that it’s crap.

I know for some fanbases this lump of sonic excrement is akin to a holy hymn, but allow me to explain why you’re wrong.

He never really gets around to explaining why Caroline is crap.  But his opinion is certainly delivered in kinetic fashion.  In a world of mousy prose, expressing insipid and uninformed opinions on complex issues, sometimes it is entertaining to see a stridently muscular piece on a trivial, almost non-issue.
