Ive adopted the team. I grew up in Toronto, so when my dad would take me to see sports, he would take me to see the raptors. Now this is my team. Ive been through so much raptor history that it feels partially like my own history.
And you know, when you sit through all the shitty seasons, you still get attached to player development and to the general trajectory of the team. Why? I guess there is some searching for a specific satisfaction, to sit there when the Raptors do become relevant with the players that you saw grow up on the trajectory and history that you experienced with them. I would say that every shitty season just builds up the suspense, builds the depth and meaning in one's fan-ship, and is the ruler to measure band-wagoners with.
