Just because you're mad, don't take it out on fans who still want to enjoy their team's next game.
Maybe Portland will win, maybe it won't, but Speed has a perfectly valid point when he rhetorically asks why heart and desire is only shown if you win. Every loss by every team causes their fans to disgustedly say they didn't care and didn't "want it." Like those are the only reasons teams ever lose.
Until your wellfare rests on whether the Blazers win, stop acting like the Blazers have done you wrong. They're a sports franchise, which means they're an entertainment venture. Either you enjoy it, in which case you watch them on TV or pay money to see them live, or you
don't enjoy them and you can feel free to stop doing both.
Ordinarily I could care less whether some fans want to keep on and on ripping the team. Their perogative and discussion forums are for all discussion...positive or negative. But this is starting to get ridiculous when people take on aggrieved tones, as if they've been wronged.
You have a choice to watch the entertainment. If you choose to keep doing so, stop complaining. You're implcitly voting the entertainment good, if you do. If you don't, and enough fans agree with you, then owenrship will take note of the dropping profits and your hated Whitsitt (who's teams have out-performed, over the past four or five years cumulatively, everyone except the Lakers and Spurs) will be in great danger of losing his job.
So either put up or shut up. If you hate the Blazers, stop watching them and patronizing them and hope many others agree with you. If you keep watching, you really have
no room to talk, especially when you bash people who want to be positive about their favourite team.
Okay, I'm done. Back to passive reading mode, as I don't have a whole lot to say about the current series.
