Its refreshing that we are all in the trust tree here and able to admit we are fed up with a lousy, non-entertaining half-hearted effort attributable to poor leadership. Its bizarre that sports contains some loyalty pledge that exists nowhere else. So ingrained that fans are duped into beating each other up about who is the better fan. Its marketing. If you are a fan of ER, you can stop watching without being a traitor, you can love Al Pacino or Deniro but stop going their over the hill paycheck movies, you don't have to buy every Stephen King book or U2 album. Sports[B][U] is entertainment[/U][/B] and the fealty to a team is simply branding bred into our culture.

Pro sports are more of a business, but UConn's current state is almost akin to 76ers fans staying suckers and buying tickets during the purposefully losing phase.   UConn is different for those of us that grew up around it or went to school there. But nonetheless we can still be fans & UConn at heart without being suckers & gluttons for punishment. If it stops being fun its fine to take a break.
