I don’t watch sports. It’s better for me if I spend my Sunday afternoons reading books (not to mention it’s a whole HECKUVA lot easier on my blood pressure ;D).
You don’t need to be a Born Loser to be perennially frustrated by your teams. As a Cleveland Indians and Browns and Columbus Blue Jackets fan only my Buckeyes have given me rays of sunshine every so often.
A smart sports fan always roots for a losing team; it’s good for his emotional and mental health. A fool roots for winners.
If your team loses, it’s no big deal; they’re losers so are expected to lose. If the team wins it’s party time. Thank Zeus for the old Washington Senators; those losers are solely missed.
But if you must root for winners like the Yankees or Patriots, you will be miserable when they lose because winners are not expected to lose. If they win, its a nothing accomplishment because winners are always expected to win.
Fans in Detroit were the healthiest in the world last year because of the combined efforts of the Lions and Tigers. Keep your fans emotionally and mentally healthy guys with your “good work.” Or should that be “good failure?”

Stick with your team. I know a team that went from last place to win the world series.

It’s not like he is going to give watching his team and take up PBS dramas, instead.
