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.
Your original post mentioned none of that, it was only about your frustration over the possibility of being losers again....and I responded accordingly.
I don't want to do anything rash two games into the season, but I'm getting there, because the Bengals are giving me all kinds of reasons to lose interest. I can't be arsed to watch if the Bengals aren't going to establish a decent running game that works (i.e., like in 2014). Moreover, if the Bengals aren't going to do right, then they don't deserve to win. I walked away from the NFL once, and I'll do it again.

To many, that reeks of fair weather fan.
Secondly, I wasn't looking down on you, nor judging you. I am not a bengals fan. I was being the devils advocate responding from a 'loyal' bengals fan point of view. They wear a badge of honor for sticking with their team. They have scars to show for it ya know. "It's easy rooting for a winner" ya know...all that shit.
