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. |
You can enjoy watching a certain player perform and even cheer for them without putting individual success above the team. And I am amazed at some people's ability to bring Trump into any discussion at all, what an utterly weird obsession.
Does someone with your perspective enjoy the sport of hockey at all?
