As we go into a five-year rebuild or retool (or whatever you want to call it.) Keep in mind, there are some bright sides—we just can’t find them. In all seriousness, there are some. Here are some personal attributes you will develop by following this losing team.
Patience is a virtue
You are learning an important trait that will help you become a better person. You will know that not everyone will agree with you, and that your way is not always the best way to go. You will learn that it will take time to become where you want to be. You will learn that it will take many losses to win once.
You will expand your vocabulary
You will learn many words to express yourself. There are many excellent expletives in the English language. You do not have to keep repeating the same words to make people happy; they already know exactly how you feel.
Your voice will reach higher notes
You will be able to become a music teacher. You will teach people to reach down to levels in their lower gut that they have never reached before. You will learn this by screaming at your TV, getting louder and louder, as the team goes through puberty.
You can spot when people suck miles away
We can be a talent agent, sifting through the bad to find the good. That is because we have seen so much bad talent on TV over the years. The only problem is knowing good talent when we see it.
Breaking TVs is expensive
You will learn frugality. Yes, after you break the 20th TV, your spouse will definitely give you a deterrent. You will learn the value of money or learn to like hospital food. Of course, broken bones kind of suck, too.
You will learn that talking to yourself is not normal
When you scream at the players while watching TV, you expect them to improve their play, but they will not respond to you. This behavior is of growing concern to your friends and family. You mustn’t do this in public, or people in straightjackets will come knocking at your door.
Final word
Yes, you too can be truly happy with millions of hours of therapy. Maybe you can learn that you do have to fall many times before learning to walk. And yes, you too can ask for directions.
