I live in an area from which it is a 9 hour drive to the nearest NFL stadium. I don't have a real connection to any NFL team and I haven't been able to just pick a team and love it. Apparently I need a genuine connection to be a genuine fan.

I have found that I don't have the same problem when it comes to hating a team. I can just pick a team to hate and enjoy genuine animosity, so to speak. This gives me a rooting interest and makes the league more interesting for me. I decided a while ago I would root against all professional teams from Boston. So I hate the patriots.

Incidentally, nowadays I find myself hoping that a fairly mediocre Giants team will make the playoffs and eventually bring me Super Bowl joy at the expense of the patriots.


Your hate helps us win. You are far too kind to give us such a boost.

I think their analysis of the two biggest "cheating" events is spot on. LiterateDog - 05/02/2019 09:50:57 PM 531 Views
