My support won’t travel. I’m loyal to the city of New Orleans and the teams associated with it. I’d actively root against them like I do the Utah Jazz.

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

Well, to be fair:

"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.

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.
