the way some people handle being in a sports fandom just makes it glaringly obvious they'd never been in a sports fandom before. wdym you're switching sides after a handful of bad results? wdym you "can't defend them"? what do you actually mean, it's ride or die, we're not here for good times only, we're here when shit gets rough, we're here through the lowest of the lows, we're here for the goddamn hope of it all, because without those, the highs would never taste so sweet and the victories would never mean so much. you can't always be on top and you won't always have a great time, but you must, at all times, keep the faith because that's what makes it all worth it in the end. even when it seems impossible. especially when it seems impossible.
