Only in sports and politics is it acceptable to be given a poor product, a poor service that hasn't earned your support, and/or be given an organization that insults it's customers, and not only get away with it by staying afloat, but also remain profitable or grow because the people continually and without care reward these lousy organizations with undying support!
To me that must be the definition of utter stupidity. If you're not going to earn my business, like any other business, I'll take it elsewhere. I feel the same way about my vote, the company I work for, and every other aspect of my life except my wife and children

So you just auto-cheer for the Presidents trophy/ Stanley Cup winner every year? Why settle for anything but the best, right?
Sports is not logical. All your arguments are logical. We cheer for a bunch of millionaire men playing a game that we like to play. The idea of sport is silly altogether, so applying real world logic to it doesn't make sense.
I hitched my wagon to the hockey club called Calgary Flames. I'm not going to "take my business elsewhere" just because they suck.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out while you turn in your Flames fan card.
