Was having a discussion saturday with my brother-in-law (Steelers fan) while watching USC-ODU. He asked me who my teams were, I told him I follow USC for most of the college sports, and the Panthers for the NFL. He tried to make the argument that other than a couple of baseball titles and a womens bball title, they haven't "given me a return on my investment" and have I thought about supporting teams that would reward my loyalty with titles, I told him I don't attend many games because I either can't afford to or I don't have the time off of work to be able to. He then said that even just watching the games on TV, you're still spending money on those teams. I then asked him why he still supports the Steelers since they haven't since they haven't "returned on investment" since 2008. He then said that if the Steelers aren't cutting it for him, he has no problems switching to another team. I then told him that's a hollow existence and that when you support a team through good and bad the successes mean more, and that it runs deeper than just financial concerns.
