But that assumes that even when playing poorly that fans can't get enjoyment out of watching and following their teams play. If the restaurant serves me a crap meal there really isn't anything else positive that I get from going there.

With a sports team you still will get wins, still get exciting games, have the enjoyment watching young guys develop, young guys get drafted, watching great individual plays/players etc.

Even during the "young guns" era I still had a great time watching and going to games. So even though the Flames were giving me a crap product I still enjoyed watching it.
