And this is especially true since this whole "Rider Nation" stuff has only existed for maybe 5-6 years. I've been a season ticket holder 2002 and I have no recollection of there being anything different between Rider fans and the rest of the league back then. They start winning a few games and all these bandwagoners all boast about how diehard they are because they get drunk before the game and throw a watermelon on their head.
When the commissioner gives out a BS award to a certain fanbase over all others you know there's a major problem with the way the league is run.
