I am bengal fan, not a bandwagon fan. I will be a Bengal fan even when they are losing. I guess if I really thought holding my breath, crying, and stomping my feet made any difference I would do it. But I know that the Bengals are trying to win, and it just isn't that easy to do.
1.) There is no such thing as a bandwagon Bengals fan. There is no bandwagon to jump on or off of, and hasn't been for quite some time.
2.) Do you treat real life, grown up business decisions with such logic?
If I tell you that I'm not interested in the new 2014 Camry, because I'm looking for a 6 cylinder that gets better gas mileage, do you accuse me of whining or stopping my feet? If I tell you that I switched from Kroger to Rempke, because of better produce and ease of getting in and out of the parking lot, do you call me a baby for not continuing to patronize Kroger?
I'm struggling to understand why me simply sharing what it's going to take for me spend more money and time on this organization is any less valid than other consumer decision. There are fans of many products, throughout many categories, that share their praise or displeasure with whatever current product is out. Why should football be any different?
