Understood. For me, it’s just something about them SAINTS.

Amen, my brother! I became a fan in 1967 because it was a Louisiana team. Not because it was a winner. I remained a fan until now because it is OUR team. Not because it has been a winner.

Well, to be fair:
Quote:
"Winning isn’t everything; it's the only thing" is a well-known quotation in sports. It is attributed to UCLA Bruins football coach Henry Russell ("Red") Sanders.[1] He is on record with at least two different versions of the quotation during his coaching career. Sanders is reputed to have used this quote even as far back as the 1930s.
Sure, it's a simple take but paying fans want this and not losing.

Seriously, as a fan of a professional football team, being scorned for the fact that “It's only about winning” for me… that be some f*cked up sh*t right there.

There is losing, and then there is LOSING.

"losing" is when you get outplayed or outcoached by a team on a given day, regroup, then bounce back. Fans can digest those losses and move along for the most part.


LOSING is a cultural/habitual/inexplicable thing. You lose to teams that you should not. You don't lose due to a great play by the other team but instead due to sheer incompetence on the part of your team. Your players can't be consistent. Fundamentals are missing. Coaching is subpar. All the breaks seem to go against you. And yet your organization seems to be asleep at the wheel, foot to the floor, headed off a cliff.

We are doing the later... It is not acceptable.

If your goal as Saints brass is to have asses in seats at the Dome, then you better do something. Either outreach to visiting teams fans or improving the talent level on the Saints.

Fans aren't to blame for inept leadership. I'll bet you Loomis leaves New Orleans before the franchise does.

Mannings will form an ownership group.
