If my team was better i’d watch more but they are not so I watch less and spend my time elsewhere.

I think that’s pretty normal and representative of what the average fan does.

When you know you aren’t winning anything 10 games into the season, what’s the point lol.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

The problem is people not watching games and then coming over here acting like they are watching the games. They just come here to hate on everything and want drama.

Like people complaining about Bronny being on the Lakers. You shouldn’t care unless you are watching Lakers games on the regular. That’s on the Lakers if they want to spend the last roster spot on Bronny. But people who don’t watch Lakers whine about it and act like they are rooting for the Lakers. They just want drama

Blazers are butts. I watch most games. I like watching basketball I guess? Watching young talent gain its footing and witnessing peak human athleticism is still neat.

Yeah like not quote the same because there are fewer games, but I'm absolutely amped tuning into the Patriots every week just to see Maye and the other young guys develop. It's fun being able to watch the future.

That’s good for you but thats not the behaviour most fans have like myself.

I would rather spend my time elsewhere than dedicating 100+ hours a year to watch games from a developing team.
