Being a Detroit Sports Fan is emotionally exhausting. It truly is.
I realize I am late to the game here, as I have only been a fan for a little over 2 years. I have grown up liking Detroit enough but when I moved away from home I realized that Michigan is the best state despite what people say. When I moved home I decided to was time to be a sports fan.
So here I am, all geared up to be a Detroit sports' fan with my (then) boyfriend as my guide.
I started learning how to play hockey..oh by play I mean watch...play football, play baseball. Basketball? As a previous cheerleader, I had that game down.
I watched game after game with expectations high as a kite.
When the crushing reality came slowly creeping in.
We don't win.
Very often.
Here is one thing I can count on being a Detroit's sports fan: we may not win but we have a lot spirit. We love the players and coaches and want to see Detroit do well. We want to be known for good things and not be laughed at. We loved Jim Swartz and are sad to see him go. Ausmus is my homeboy. And by WE I think I mean me.
I love Detroit sports and I always will.
Win or Lose, it's how you play the game. Right?
