It's simple cause and effect at play. The organization does absurd things. Absurd reactions should be expected. I'm not going to tell anyone what kind of fan they should be, particularly if they've had the fortitude to be loyal to this second-rate team for any significant amount of time. The Brown family should be thankful that there are any of us left at all.
It's not our job to be the PR wing for the Bengals. If they cared about what the fans attitude was, they'd cultivate positivity on their own.
There is just one small problem with this logic. Nothing in life will be easy. Things are not going to go your way most of your life and many of them you will be powerless to change. You can not control what other people in your life do.
So when you have some time to yourself what should you do. Obsess on how life isn't fair? Cry about how you are not a getting what you DESERVE? Sit around making and revising lists just so you can decide which of all the multiple failures in your life are the top 5?
90% of the time your level of enjoyment in life is determined by your own attitude. Many big issues are out of your control. So you can either look at the positive and feel good about life or you can obsess about how miserable you are and spend your life bitching and moaning.
What the Bengals do is one of those things that is 100% out of your control. So what are you going to do?
