Boston Saint

Thank You bako. You bring up good questions and valid points. I know I don’t have the answers. I will say this though…
I’ve lived in a lot of areas in the gold old USA that followed a lot of different teams in a lot of different sports. It’s a cliché to say they all want to win. I don’t believe that; some want to win more than others. Some area fans care more. Some take it for granted more. I spent 25+ years in the Bay area. I’ve seen the Niners and the raiders win Super Bowls while living amongst their fans. I saw the Giants and the A’s win championships and the Golden State Warriors bring home a trophy.

Likewise, here in Boston, I watched the Celtics, Pats, Red Sox, and Bruins all either play for or win a title. During all of this in both areas I got to observe with and interact with their fans.

Just like I saw all those teams win, I saw them lose! I saw them struggle. All those teams (pats aside) struggled through years that got them too 5 draft pics repeatedly. Saw fan interest rise and fall.

I guess my rambling point is I’m thankful for what we’ve had and to be competitive and to appreciate how tough it is to compete at this level. Lots of very wealthy owners try their best to win it in the NFL and they can’t get it done. Lots of times they don’t even come close. A good friend of mine up here is a Jets fan. Can you imagine the crap he takes? At least fans outside of Louisiana give the saints and their fans respect. Let’s hope it continues.
