There wasn't anything really wrong with the article. The thing I didn't like was the lack of loyalty. I don't care how much your team sucks, you stick with them. I hate bandwagon jumpers. You dont just go and change teams. Are you kidding me? If your a true fan, you stick with your team through thick and thin. I honestly don't know how you can just pick a new team? I couldn't bring myself to root for another team. I just couldn't. I am loyal. I am a true fan. No matter what, even through the dreadful Drew "cant throw" Bledslow" era, I still stuck with my boys. no matter if they are 16-0 or 0-16, they will always be my boys. Do us all a favor, stick with your Falcons. What if they ended up doing the impossible this year? Then what would you say? I just dont understand how you can just switch teams? How can you root for someone else? I just dont understand. GO COWBOYS!

Point taken, but for future reference, it's against normal procedure to vote against an article because you disagree with its content. You're fairly new, so I won't hold this against you.
In all honesty, I will probably stay a Falcons' fan (the leading argument is I should become a Bengals fan because simply "Chad Johnson"), but the franchise is inept. They don't even try to field a competitive team. It's sad.

I don't always agree. I think the point Bsd's trying to make is that he feels the ownership of his favorite team is playing him and the rest of the fans for suckers. It's like they're almost saying, "It doesn't matter what we do on the field, they'll show up and shell out thousands for season tickets, PSL's, refreshments and Vick jerseys." How can he be a "true fan" if his team doesn't act like a true team and attempt to put a winner on the field?
I also think that nobody in the world has ever taken a three game losing streak harder than bsd, but his point in this case is a good one. Plus, the article is excellent and should never be voted down for an opinion you disagree with.
