^you're basically just describing Arsenal

point taken

As a black person i sometimes find my self conflicted about being RM fan based on a lot of things, but at the end of the day this is the club that made me love this sport and of course the winning makes things easier. I haven't comprised who I am for the club, the moment I do, I'll be done with it.

Also, a club/team is bigger than its owner or players. The whole "I can't support Inter because of Icardi" is a cop out. If you don't like the team anymore because they haven't been successful in a while just say so, don't blame it on one player though.

[MetalMario]

Sucks for you guys, my club has no history of backstabbing, transfer stealing or adultery of any sort!

 

[MetalMario]

Scared for today’s game. It’s at home first which gives me some relief.

Hazard has to score first. The best way to break any tension and raise the morale

Also I seent you Tom

I guess i am too passive of a fan. I don't research the club history and the goings-on and see how they have treated their players over the years and what they do to help the community etc. I followed inter as a child because of the players...obviously...and i loved their jersey . But having no location tie to them and considering i live in baltimore md...i am not a die hard fan. If a club is indeed bigger then an owner/player...then what predicates fandom?

Loving the club despite who owns it and who plays there. Most of these clubs are over a hundred years old. There will be good times and bad, but if you are truly a fan none of that should affect your loyalty.

But you just become a fan...because what? Then you latch on for the sake of loyalty?

You become a fan because when you were growing up you just picked a team...however random...they could have been scumbags at the time but you still role with them? Idk it just doesn't make sense unless a team has exemplified proper ethics for the entirety of their existence which seems verrrrrryyyyy unlikley.

Sorry i know this is a philosphical debate so on topic....Think chelsea folds and Barca win 2-0 today

 

[jape]

best brazilian in the world gets the start

if this were true
robbie the goat...evil genius. praying on arsenals downfall

[vtotheinay]

I hope we run over besiktas 5-0 today at home so we don't have to worry about the away leg

I don't want to bore you with the reasons I became a fan of each of my teams, but the answer to that question is essentially yes, I have stayed a fan of my teams out of the sake of loyalty. Some of the players, owners, and/or personnel of my teams haven't always behaved well at times, but my loyalty to the team never faltered.
