Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3186916, member: 2290"] It’s an interesting topic about what it is exactly you support when you support a team. It’s not the players because teams will have a turn over of 80+ % every couple of years and once a player joins another club you no longer support them like you do your team’s players. It’s not the coach because the average life expectancy of most coaches is very short and when they leave and a new coach comes with new players and new philosophies and culture you still support the club. Hypothetically If we sign Storms CEO, Storms Coach, and Storms Captain and implement the Storms systems and procedures, why is it different than if you just swapped over to support the storm a few years back? Brisbane and this board is a bit unique because most of you are from Brisbane; but most NRL fans don’t live in the area of the team they support. I’ve never lived in Brisbane, in fact I’ve never even lived in QLD. It was just the team and state I decided to support when I first joined minor league in the mid 90s. Me and my family had no concept of league or the broncos history, I just liked the colours and the mascot. But I’ve never once considered swapping teams. it’s just funny because I’ve hated Cam and Bellamy ever since the cheating scandal and I would love having their success at our club and hope it happens but for some reason it would feel weird having such a strong Storm influence. It would almost be the same feeling of when using a cheat code in a game, you get more success but you don’t feel like you earned it. I don’t know, just an existential footy rant. [/QUOTE]
