Hope this doesn’t come off too douchey, but I will never understand this take. I suffered, therefore you must also
If I ever have kids, I want them to have a better childhood and a better life overall than I’ve had. I get that the Pats and Sox sucked for basically the past 100 years. But taking joy in watching the younger generations experiencing pain as our teams implode is a weird hill to die on.
It’s calling you what you are. Spoiled. Because you have this “I never thought I’d see this”. As opposed to “damn I wish I didn’t have to see this. I know you older folks saw this I wish we’d never have had these days come back around”.
You’re spoiled. Your generation of fans are spoiled.
And note. I didn’t call YOU a spoiled brat. Because I don’t think that’s what you are or that was how you came across. Some fans certainly do.
And as an aside. I concur about all of what you want for your kids. And my kids are likely the same age as you as all mine are adults now.
I didn’t express any joy. I’m not happy the pats suck. I hate it. But I also have perspective that sports teams don’t stay good forever. Because that’s just reality. It’s normally 3-5 good years 2-3 down. Then good again for a bit and so forth. What the pats did from 2000-2109 and one could argue beginning really in the mid 90’s. Is just unreal.
So you’re young eh?
Because I saw this multiple times. In numerous years. From the 70’s through the 90’s.
You spoiled kids.

That’s not the perspective at all.
