We had chances and we'll continue to have chances. Living in Europe try being these soccer fans in places like Strasbourg, France who have a team that will never have the budget of the top teams like PSG (have Mbappe and had Messi). You're just fighting to not be relegated into a minor team. They literally have no shot ... ever. There's no draft system, no cap that seems to matter, you just hope your city somehow breeds a star in your farm system. And yet they cheer at games like crazy, I almost feel sorry for them. Oh yeah we will have chances again. That’s almost the beauty of the NFL , you can go from the worst to first in a year with the right offseason. That stuff about soccer in Europe is fascinating. It sounds like the rabid fandom is a cultural thing. I mean it sounds like the habit/fandom was passed down from generation to generation. Or there is just some civic pride thing that compels them to got cheer every game even though they got no shot. You don’t see that in the USA anymore. Maybe in some college football towns, that’s probably the best comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not so the roots don't run so deep. Why is that so hard to understand or accept? People come from different angles and places and it's okay. I wasn't looking for his approval; I was giving it to him. You're so pissy that you can't appreciate that you are 180 degrees wrong. No need to go Gestapo on anyone... Gestapo? I, like most others, think bandwagon fans are fucking cowards. You, in a desperate attempt to be accepted, claim they are fine. You're still the definition of pathetic.

I don’t even mind that some fans here have just tuned out the product because it quite frankly sucks and is boring. The OP is different though, he basically jumped and rooted for the team that won the SB and gave 500 different reasons . That deserves ridicule and shaming.

What exactly does this mean? Did you emerge from your mother's vagina wearing an Oiler's jersey and demand the hospital staff turn the game on?

Should also be bannable to keep them from pulling a Kyle and trying to come back. Fan since ‘96 and already done-pretty dam weanie and moving to KC means you were never a fan anyway. I’ve been following these fucks since the early 70’s and a SB win will mean a ton more to true fans than this literal definition of a bandwagoner.

titans79 Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Yea...no matter how frustrated I get, I couldn't turn off being a fan even if I wanted to, and believe me, there have been times I have wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Hanging up your fandom for a shitty cursed franchise is something I can understand. Claiming the best team in the league as your own is the bigger problem here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, in a desperate attempt to be accepted, claim they are fine. You're still the definition of pathetic. I can do math. Why would I back this lone guy up to get his acceptance knowing that the legion deriding him would come after me? C'mon.... Sounds like he was band-wagoning with the Oilers/Titans for awhile there, took a break, and came back to a bad team, with bad management, bad coaches, bad fans, and he thinks bad owners. What's not to love?! By virtue of growing up in Hawaii, he has to bandwagon some team. Don't get your feelings hurt because your beloved team is no longer appealing to more casual fans. The macho bullshit is deep in here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 If Pineapple Kyle wants to claim he's a "sports fan" that follows the Titans is one thing. Claiming to be a long time Titans fan and then ditching them when things go south is another, especially when talking with guys who have lived and breathed a team that been around for a half a century. There IS a difference. Just ask some Browns fans how they feel about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one offended by the idea of a bandwagon fan. I've been a fan of this franchise since the early 60s so don't tell me anything about fandom. I don't require any kind of particular behavior in regards to something as relatively meaningless as fandom of a sports team. You do for some odd reason. LOL.
