To be a true fan...

Link to original post: To be a true fan...

I actually have been wanting to write a few blogs for a while. So, here they are. The first deals with being a fan.

A Story: Being in GA, one thing that I am used to hearing is how everybody hates Mango for some reason. for god knows what reasons (he's too cocky, he's not that good, blah, blah, blah...). I really feel that I am a lone wolf here in that Mango happens to be my favorite smasher. You can easily imagine the flak I get for this, most of which goes around the these words: You're just a front runner/fair weather fan! The moment he starts losing, you won't be his fan!

While this is an incredibly silly comment, it also made me realize the difference between a true fan and a fair weather one. A true fan feels the pain of whatever person or team that he happens to be cheering for. Every time the Patriots lose, I feel a little crummy myself (not the entire day, but for a little while @ least.). The same applies for the Southern Cal Trojans & The LA Lakers.

A fair-weather fan only feels for their team when they wins. So, if a team wins 15 games in a row or something, they will claim to be a fan. Such actions are truly perfidious.

However, always remember that true fans have nothing to be ashamed about cheering for their team. So, keep on cheering, true fans. And go, Lakers, Pats, Trojans, and Mango!

I have an attachment like that to the Denver Broncos, and that's it. Not for basketball, not for smash, not for college. Weird?

Oh, I see. Not a fan of me?

GA can go **** themselves if they don't like Mango. /regional bias

cool story, bro!

I really don't know what to say. :/

Hmm. I truly believe I'm a fan of the Lions, but I don't feel sad due to them losing. I've been so accustomed to them losing, it doesn't even faze me now.

"You don't have to say anything @ all."
Props if you get the reference.
Also, this is more intended for the dirty south, they known who they are.

I can only imagine the hurt you are going through. At least you guys won one recently. Yeah optimism!

Many people just like the underdog :/

I see where you are coming from, but I just don't have any attachment to them. For example, my favorite teams (in the sports you named) are Pacers, Dolphins and the Oklahoma Sooners (not really underdogs, family relations ). I know that those other teams are amazing in their respective ways, and that they trump most of my favorite teams in every way (except OU's front seven > USC front seven, but we wont get into that here ), I just have some sort of attachment to those teams. Whether it be family, or just a certain player was on that team and I in time learned to love the team, there's some connection with me and that team.

My favorite smasher to watch is R3N0. Not even near the best sheik, I just think his playstyle is sooo entertaining. But I will be the first to say that Mang0 is the best player in melee, and that every one should take notes out of his book.

Tis all

I still reserve the right to say that Matt Leinart has and always will...Suck huge dong.
