ANYONE ELSE QUESTION WHY YOU KEEP WATCHING A FAVORITE TEAM?

[G-Golly Wally]

I was born and raised in Arkansas until I was 14yrs old, so I was fully indoctrinated with anything Arkansas athletics. I've been in Oklahoma over 40yrs and I'm still an Arkansas fan. But after watching the Hogs self destruct once again after dominating the first half only to come out after halftime and do everything possible to hand the game to Oklahoma State, and succeed to lose in double overtime. I question why do I keep watching this football program, when I know I'm almost guaranteed disappointment every football season. Anyone else a glutton for punishment besides me? SMH!!!! I'm gonna go mow the grass!!!!!

As a Dallas Cowboys fan I feel your pain.

Steelers fan.. I feel your pain

I'm trying to get back into watching NFL football, have been trying to pull for the Steelers since I work very close to PA and my driller is a big Steelers Fan. Even bought me a hat last hitch. Well, at least I'm no stranger to disappointment.

Nice looking hat! I was brought up in a steelers house. My dad proudly wore a coat with the 4 super bowl wins 75,76,79,80 on the back. He preached the gospel of the "steel curtain". He used to say "son, that's the working mans team!" He passed in 99 when I was 17 but it still resonates in my soul to this day.

When I was a kid, I was a Steelers fan back in the Terry Bradshaw days, he was my hero. After he left, it wasn't the same, haven't really been into football since.

I was too, in this area I've lived all of my life you mainly get the Cowboys or the Chiefs. I wasn't a Rodger Staubach or a Tony Dorsett fan, so I liked the Steelers. Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Green, Dennis Winston and Rocky Bleier. I even had some Pittsburgh Steelers pajamas
I didn't become a Cowboys fan until later, when they basically started over with Troy Aikman and Jimmy Johnson as head coach. Now I'm trying to become a Steelers fan again.

When I was in elementary school I still think more kids had the Roger Staubach player shirt than Bradshaw and I grew up just south of Pittsburgh, PA. Eventually everything you love gets ruined lately. Just waiting for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders to field a lady that looks like Mario, from Nintendo, and calls herself Shirley.

The old days of watching football were the best, although I never was a big fan, I did watch occasionally and tried to catch the playoffs and superbowl.
However, these days I don't...to quote Burgess Owens "When they started kneeling, I stopped watching"

 

[fourstringburn]

Since professional sports teams went political I don't question why I DON'T watch them anymore.

They, like hollywood actors, Are there for are entertainment and escape from the daily grind and now that has been soured.

Without all of us they are nothing!

For those who still enjoy the games that is your choice and it's good to still have freedom of choice while we still have it.
