It's a reciprocal activity. You have indeed engaged in it here by expressing a discontent with fans who express discontent with some aspect of the team.

You don't get one and I don't get the other. And here's why I don't get the other. The fans you're negative about have obviously remained fans despite a decade of abject and empirical failure. They haven't failed the team even though the team clearly has failed them. So, given the fact negativity is inescapable in this case and the only choice is where it's directed, it's rather bewildering to me to choose to direct it at the fans who've been failed rather than the team that has failed them..

Succinct and to the point, the bolded sentence says it all, the team has failed the fans, not the other way around. Regardless of bad luck, no luck, poor coaching, poor playing, poor leadership, you name it, this team by any definition of the word has failed for an extended period of time.

Good post 9er8er thumbs up
