We here at sportsblogit are first and foremost fans. Well, ok not really. Ee are incredibly good looking (based on a survey we got 2 out of 5 stars from our lady friends) so, yeah pretty big deal. We’re also fatigued worn out and deflated like the patriot’s footballs, of cheering tirelessly for our teams to win a championship. And yet, our teams find a way to always disappoint. Alas, we are still fans.
This submission is for you my friends. The weary and tired, the huddled masses in unbearable heat and unfathomable cold, the hungover, the still drinking (even though you should have stopped a while ago), the hopeless, the winners, the losers. This is for you THE FAN.
Through decades you have watched your team win and lose, be ranked and be forgotten, go through scandals and murders (you know who you are sassy lil bastards). Yet, you hang on. Hang onto hope that one day you will be able to join your stupid friends in a worthless parade down the main street of wherever the hell you’re from. Why? Because that’s what it means to be a fan. To put faith into something that honestly, has no real impact on your life whatsoever (unless, you gamble. If you need help call the 1-800-gamble hotline and tell them about it, I bet you won’t).
REAL TALK, I’ve given up plenty of nights “getting to know my wife biblically” just so I could see my team lose. In the end, what did I get? A lonely night and an angry wife, but I stuck by my team, and that has to count for something right? Maybe? Guess you can’t get a franchise pregnant amirite?
Anyways, steadfast and head up, for you will one day feel the burden of carrying a championship sweater or hat in your wardrobe, so you can wear it out in public every now and then, but probably not to work because that would look weird. You can get into arguments over why your team is the best and kicks everyone else’s ass. Thus, getting you into a fist-to-cuffs fight yourself and wondering why your team won’t post your bail? Don’t worry champ, your team knows your plight and they love you back, via overpriced tickets and ridiculous parking. I’m getting a chub just writing about this.
Head up and stay up players FANS
