Message: [QUOTE="Cuse181, post: 4788854, member: 8295"] I don’t disagree, but people view success of the team as their own success and that drives investment. Just look at how many posters here say they’re “embarrassed” by the play on the field after a loss, as if it personally affects them. The amount of people who use the word “we” to describe a team they’ve never played for. Or even the fans who argue with each other on Twitter about whose team is better, and then the insults that get hurled. They do and say these things because they feel like a teams success is their success. When Alabama wins a national championship, only 120 or so players and staff played a direct role in that, but that doesn’t stop a Million Alabama fans from yelling “we won!” That’s why the money will continue to flow despite logic telling you that individuals should want something tangible out of their “investments” [/QUOTE]
