Do you stop watching your team?

I'm sure many of us have a pro or college football team (or both) that we support. Naturally, I'm a Broncos fan.

But if they loose about 5 games in a row....I loose interest and just stop watching - I pick another team that's winning and start watching them instead.

Do you guys do this? Or do you keeping watching your team(s) no matter what?
 
That's called being a fair-weather fan, and that's not being a true fan of a team.

I've been a fan of the Cubs and the Colts since the early 80's, through the good and bad. Mostly bad :)

I would stop watching for a week at a time on the bad stretches, but I would never grab another team.
 
Nope, I sure don't. I've been a fan of the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins my entire life. Nothing is going to change that.

The exception for me would be pro basketball. I did not grow up with an NBA team, so it hasn't been a part of me since my youth. I really like the Houston Rockets, but when they play poorly I stop paying attention until they are playing good again.

As a Washington State Cougar for life, I DO NOT leave games early, nor lose interest in the team regardless of record. It's MY team, win or lose. You're either committed or not - and that's the story.

Two or three bad years in a row (not something trivial like 5 games) are no reason to change this.

If you don't stick with your team regardless, you're a lightweight!!

Go, COUGS!!!

As most know, I'm a Colts fan. Growing up most home games were "blacked out" so I would listen (intensely! :help:) to the game on the radio. Yes, I even did this during the the seasons were they only won one to three games the whole season.

As for watching the games, I'm the same way. I watch till the final whistle blows. Win or slaughtered. :p
