As a sports fan, it's hard to watch your team lose. It's even harder to watch them lose game after game, season after season. That's not to say that a losing team NEVER wins. However, more often than not, if you're a fan of a losing team, they lose an awful lot.
How easy would it be to give up on your team? How easy would it be to root for the team that always wins? Easy. It's a lot easier to be a fan of a team that always wins. That's not how it works though.
If you're really a fan, you stick with your team through every loss. People ask, "Why do you like them? They suck." I say, down with the haters. One day, we'll be good again. Just wait.
With every hard loss comes disappointment, but that just makes the joy of victory so much sweeter. When your team finally wins, you can say you were there all along. You can tell everyone that you were there for your team before the bandwagon. You can relish the sweet jealousy of all your haters.
