So as people may have noticed here lately in Houston, the city is looking pretty Orange lately.
Not burnt but bright, because a certain team is in a certain series to win a certain championship if you certain feel me. Ok, I'll stop, certainly. But you know what comes with success, new fans, and people who complain about the new fans.
You see, the old fans, the die-hards they go when a team is bad, they go when a team is good and they say that makes them REAL fans. If you only support the team when it's having success than your a fair weather fan the die-hards will tell you.
It's like the guy who says "oh you listen to THAT band? I used to love them but now they got big and everyone loves them." SO WHAT?!?!? You were right and eventually everyone agreed, why are you bitter?
IF you buy the tickets and the eight dollar beers if a team is bad or good, than why should they get better? If no matter what their fans will spend the money then there is no reason for the team to improve except for pride and internal motivations, but sometimes success requires more than just want, sometimes it requires economics. That's why the good fans leave when a team goes bad, and come back when a team is good. They're showing the tough love and voting with their precious dollars.
So next time you see someone complain about all the bandwagon riders, just roll your eyes and ask him how lonely he was when the team was terrible and he drank his eight dollar beer alone in the stadium.
