So don't try to pass off your ####ed up, jaded, negative and pessimistic view of sports in general as some kind of enlightened higher thinking that everyone is on the same page about. Because they are not and you are very wrong about this.

Did you display this much moral outrage when the Flames employed Bertuzzi or Marchment? No, you probably swallowed your pride and continued to cheer for the
TEAM even though they had a couple of reprehensible ######bags on the roster. Yeah, easy to talk a big game about turning your back on the team, but reality is very different. The Flames employing a racist would not be the worst thing they have ever done.

As .ugh as I love the Flames I personally cannot get over the fact that the team is comprised of actual persons with actual lives. Having invested in them by association with the team's success, I cannot help but continue to hope for their success after they are gone.

What's your problem? I was asked a question and I answered it honestly. And yes, it is Oiler fanish to be so invested in a player that you would put their interests above the team. When you are that invested in a player's individual success that you would cheer for their personal success over that of the goals and success of the team, you're lost. They honestly don't care that the Oilers suck and lose, so long as McDavid and Draisaitl get their points. It's lame. I never understood how people could be so hoodwinked by the cult of personality and putting Fleury or Iginla above of the team. It is almost Trumpian and cultish in a way. I'm just not wired that way and only care about the team as a whole. Every player is a cog and a means to an end.
