While I'm glad you are happy with your choice and I agree with the overall

sentiment of your post regarding finding/supporting things you enjoy I do have some qualms about the post. First off you aren't really in the position to tell people they won't "find joy" at Lane Stadium. I wouldn't "find joy" at a ballet but I'm not going to blanketly say someone else won't. Obviously losing is not fun. But it's not like we never win at home. It's not like games are never fun. And plenty of people go to games to see friends and share experiences with fellow fans. That shouldn't be discounted especially during tough times in terms of on the field performance. The other issue is more of a logical/financial one. If every fan checks out and stops supporting the program then there will never be "something to be invested about". I'm not saying we don't have money or that we shouldn't be getting better results for what we spend. But if everyone did the same thing you did then the program would wither and die. Sites like TSL would wither and die. You need people who stick with things during the down times. So while your post and actions make sense on a micro level they would be extremely damaging on a macro one. I'm glad you are happy with your decision but it pretty much fits the definition of a bandwagon fan. That's fine, you do you. But just realize that teams need dedicated fans to sustain things.

Sounds like you made the right decision for yourself.

Can't blame you. Our defense lacks the physicality seen at the ballet.**
