Quote:I get what you're saying, but I also don't give a (bad word) about how I "look". I'm a 30 year old man, if I'm clinging to my image on some message board to find my identity I'm in bad shape.


I live in Virginia, I've been a die-hard Jags fan since I've followed football, '96 at age 9 when I realized I'd never have the body to play it going forward.


I endure constant abuse from casual fans of whatever team dumping on my Jags. I get that that is a different struggle from the beasts paying for season tickets. But it's very important to have out-of-market support. I'm fiercely loyal to our squad, I get stores that don't order Jags swag to order it in an attempt to do my part to show Jags have support. It's very hard in a region that is so over saturated with Skins, Panthers, Ravens, and Steelers gear.


I wish I could support more directly, but I'm not a rich man. I make less than 30k a year.


It feels better to be excited than not. Even if historically speaking I have little justification for expecting a return on my time/hope.


It's like sticking by a woman who's burned you. You're gonna disregard your better judgement cus you're trying to be a good man, and be loyal to who you love.
