I've been trying to articulate this for years. A great read... Kansas city fan comes to Chicago, sees game and shares views.
Highlight paragraph for me:
He spoke about surfing the websites for fan reactions after the close wins, and came across a few bad apples...
"I’m sure every fan base has these fans. I’m sure among the happy mob of Bears fans there were those grumbling about the turnovers and kick return for a touchdown that they allowed. I’m sure there were Ravens fans upset about their close call against the Browns. I’m sure there were Texans fans that were upset that they had to pose a dramatic late win for the second week in a row.
I’m not saying that NFL fans should be ignorant to their team’s flaws. I’m not saying there isn’t a time and place to discuss and vent about the perceived shortcomings. What I’m saying is that even for a good, playoff caliber team, there are only 10-12 times in a calendar year where you get to celebrate a win.
Think about that…"
Check it out.
