I've never understood sporting fans who are "fair weather fans". The ones who only back their team if they are winning. The ones who when you have a bad game they are ripping the team apart instead of building them back up. I've always been in the camp of supporting your team 100%. In our family that team is the Colorado Rapids. The kids all love attending the games and cheering (aka screaming) for their team. They've got the shirts, the scarves, the stuffed animals, the blankets. They chant, they sing, they jump up and down. I might not jump up and down, but I do the rest.
Our team just got knocked out of the playoffs. Last year we brought home the MLS Cup and it was amazing. This year our team was plagued with injuries. Even with all the injuries and having a different starting XI essentially every game they still made the playoffs. We won't be bringing home the MLS Cup this year, but it's not the end of the world. We'll have some time for our guys to recover, recoup, and be ready to go in March. We've got many players who need these next fews months to heal from injuries. They'll be back though, ready to get back on the pitch and show us how the game is played. I've met a majority of the players on the team and have to say they are a class act.
So until March we'll be counting down the days. We'll be ready to continue to cheer our team on. Win or lose we'll be in our seats cheering our hearts out. Thanks for the joy this season has brought us.
