Fair weather fans aren't as subhuman as bandwagon fans though. At least you don't jump on the bandwagon of a team that's doing good which describes 99.99% of Steeler fans.
Blah Blah Blah.....I've been a season ticket holder for over 12 years....until this year! Previous to that i followed the Bengals and NFL for over 25 years. I've subscribed to Sunday Ticket for the past 8 years as well. I've even travelled to see games as far away as San Diego, Dallas, Kansas City and at least 6 other cities!
I love how YOU can judge anyone's loyalty or passion and claim to "look down" on someone! I too have grown tired of the path the NFL is taking. It's a slow march to obscurity for this sport with head injuries and the like taking precedent. The game, if still around will look much different in less than 20 years! It already is different.
The things that people loved about the game are slowly being striped away. So yes i'm sure you'll call even ME a fair weather fan or even......god help us....a bandwagon one, but the fact is that it's just not the same anymore! My passion is for something that no longer exists.
