Whether it's the Olympics or the local ball club, if you're a fan, you are 'part' of club. When
you're part of the club, it's 'we won' and 'we lost.' You're a fair weather fan when its, 'we won'
and 'they lost.'
What club is that? I'm a Cubs fan, but I wasn't aware that I belonged to any club.
Quoted message said:Even though Roberto Heras hails from Bejar, Spain, I felt like 'we won' and when Postal didn't do
well in the Tour of Burgos, I felt genuine disappointment, as to say 'we lost.'
Whether the USPS wins or loses, *you* do neither (unless you raced yourself that day, of course 😉
Thus it is not "we"... it is only *them*.
Quoted message said:Consider your mettle as a fan.
I'd suggest you consider your own grasp on reality.
The "we won" delusion is just p33ps living vicariously through the successes of their "heros".
Sound familiar?
Sorry if the truth hurts.
