In Response To: Jets-OT (Bob Koca)

Then I realized that the fans were so loyal that the team could be profitable even without being a winning team.

I believe the ownership realized this long before you did, sad to say.

Then again, I am a fan of my teams because they are from my hometown, because my dad took me to their games growing up, because the stars were my boyhood heroes, etc. It's not like I became a fan because I approve or disapprove of the ownership team. For example, I am a lifelong Lions fan (and, thanks largely to ownership, they have a total of one playoff win in my lifetime).

Lamenting the fact that bad ownership is running your favorite team into the ground is part and parcel of fandom, I would contend. The Cubs have twice been one game away from the World Series, which is pretty good for a team that isn't even trying. I wish the Lions had that excuse.
