Has this team played badly this season? Badly is an understatement. Have they given us any reasons to cheer or even hope so far? Very few. So at mid-season what should a fan do?
What is a Fan? Someone who is 'Fan'aticle about something. Can a true fan become so frustrated and disappointed with a teams' performance that they get angry and vent that frustration by knocking their team? Yes, but there comes a point that if you keep knocking the team it becomes detraction and that’s when you cease to be a fan and become a basher.
At some point you must decide that you no longer can live with the faults of your spouse and leave or, hey, they’re still your spouse, and faults and all, this is where you want to be. So you shrug your shoulders and make a conscious choice to stop concentrating on the bad and look for the good. Sooner or later we must come to the realization that when we allow ourselves to become absorbed by the negative, that’s what we become.
I've been a Phin fan since 1970, and after '72 being frustrated has been the state of the Dolphins fan. But in each season, at the height of its frustration, a fan has had to make a decision to either give up being a fan or shrug his/her shoulders and tune in the next game and continue to cheer and hope.
Have we reached that point? Pretty close to it.
