It’s the exact same shit, year after year. And more and more as time goes on I keep finding myself asking why should I support a team that’s not willing to make any change? A team that doesn’t really give me any incentive to root for them?
I’ve been a fan for a long part of my life. I’ve invested a ton of time and money in being a fan…I have like 9 or 10 different jerseys, dozens of shirts and hats of my own plus all the shit I’ve bought my family, a section of my office is dedicated to Chargers memorabilia, and I even have a Bolts tattoo for fucks sake. Not to mention the costs of going to games or paying to be able to watch them on TV.
But then I just don’t know where else I’d look. How do you pick someone new to support? I LOVE the sport though honestly hockey has become my primary…but I do still love watching football. I enjoy watching KC and Mahomes but that feels like bandwagoning. I live in Vegas but I just can’t bring myself to do that (though I do respect the fact that they’ve been showing some balls and have been actually making big changes, plus I really do like Crosby and how he’s so open to talk about his former problems with addiction and stuff…but still…it’s the Raiders.) My favorite sandwich comes from Philly? I still feel like my heart is in the PNW where I grew up and I love the city of Seattle? I just can’t do the Donkeys…I dislike them more than the Raiders I think. I don’t look good in any versions of teal or orange so that removes a lot of teams lol.
Sorry for ranting fellow Bolt fam. I’m just kinda feeling like something’s got to give. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Root for the players not the coaching. These guys are trying their best
