I think different mentalities are required to enjoy sports depending upon whether your team is usually successful and sometimes or often wins titles, has up and down seasons but is sometimes a contender or is usually bad to mediocre. It’s obviously pretty easy to be a fan of the Patriots or Alabama or the Warriors having a run of titles. The trick is deriving enjoyment as a fan of the Bears or Commanders or Lions. You have to be able to enjoy individual wins or great players that come through or memorable plays.

My friend moved to Maryland and has become a fan of the Washington Redskins/Team/Commanders, all during the Snyder era. The team has made the playoffs here and there but has never once felt remotely capable of making any kind of playoff run. Most of the time offense has been mediocre to awful. The team has generally, IMO, not been very entertaining to watch. The one exception was, IMO, the RG3 rookie season and we all know what happened there. Of course he lives practically next door to Baltimore and I’m pretty sure the Ravens have won a couple of super bowls while he’s been suffering with Snyder but he refuses to root for them because of Ray Lewis being involved with that murder. So I’ve tried to convince him to limit his expectations while Snyder is the owner. To just enjoy individual things like that season of RG3 making a bunch of thrilling plays, or the win over the Cowboys a week ago. And to not attach so much happiness or despair to sports teams generally, even the great ones will let you down
