as a long-suffering Buffalo sports fan, a lot of this deeply resonated with me - especially this section, felt like it could be about the 2010-2025 Buffalo Sabres:
"Those perverse enough to nevertheless live and die with this team have found themselves embroiled in what could only be conceived of as an anti-fandom: watching not to root, per se, but to cement their credentials so that they may one day root again."
There is a vocal contingent of the fanbase who, now that the Sabres are actually able to be rooted for, are touting those credentials - well earned, in my book! But then you look across town at the Bills and you just see a slightly more happy Sisyphean situation.
At the end of the day, as a fan, you just have to accept that winning is not really the point of sports
"watching not to root, per se, but to cement their credentials so that they may one day root again" is spot on. Here for the quarterly meeting and in support of Acuff.

fuck it rooting for a scrappy underdog is infinitely more fun than a frontrunner anyways. the B tier of this draft is still loaded.
