Generally speaking, people don't just wake up butt hurt (maybe Ben R does) wanting to flame someone. It all stems from something that happened. And if it doesn't help or hurt this franchise, than fix the actual problem vs pointing at something intangible.

Are we sucked into a negative atmosphere?

The answer is yes.

Do we all react to it in the same manner?

The answer is no.

That is not the same as fans negativity causing players to not want to play for the team.

Bad management and coaching lead to empty stadiums and backlash.

They are the result.

You correct those two bad things and it turns the fans' perception around.

It just takes a lot longer when the team has historically been mismanaged.

This guy just doesn't want to hear/read/see negativity even if justified

Kind of reminds me of Denny.  

Anyone here know what I'm talking about??
