It's ok to not be as heavily invested in a team/sport and still be considered a fan.
I've overall enjoyed football and life better when preferring to just watch when the season outcome seems bright and not caring so much to watch if the season is going poorly.
At the end of the day, I've been a Reds fan and a Bengals fan since 1980 at least. Yet I'm still a Bengals fan after a 10 year decade of sucking in the 90's.
I have season tickets to the Bengals and drive 2 1/2 hours each game day to watch them because I love football.
The Reds on the other hand I havent been to Great American Ballpark since 2012. Really dont care to go. Experience is sub par. Team has sucked. Owners don't care about the product. It's not easy to watch the product on TV.
I grew up and played baseball through HS, but could careless about the Reds. If you want to say the Bengals ownership is bad, we might want to take look at the team next door who never get flack even though they havent won a post season game since 1995.
So while are there challenges with this organization, yes, are there challenges with EVERY organization? Yes....Are the Steelers struggling to find a QB, yes, but there the Steelers they should get any QB they want...blah blah blah....Watt is sitting out mini camp because he wants a new contract...yet no other team has drama or disfunction.
Sorry i'll get off my soapbox now lol
