Quote:I'm definitely more proud when they win but I am definitely not embarrassed to say it. It's not your fault they're embarrassing; people will still respect your fanhood regardless of team.

 

I respect a fan of a losing team a lot more than I respect a fan of a winning team.   Being a fan of a losing team means you have fortitude, and loyalty.   Why would anyone go around crowing that they're a Pats fan?  That's like bragging about being born rich.  

 

If you were born poor, would you be embarrassed by that?   Most politicians wish they were born poor.  Being born poor is a point of pride to them. 

 

Jags fans should take the same attitude.  It's a lot harder to be a loyal Jags fan than it is to be a loyal Pats fan.   That's why we should be proud of it, not embarrassed by it.   When people ask us about being a Jags fan we should hold our heads high.  

 

The few, the proud, the Jags fan!

 

 

Obviously I've had too much caffeine this morning.
