Bandwagon Bandwagon fan
Usually I'm a die hard fan of my sports teams. But the recent trend of bandwagon fans in ottawa has got me thinking, hmmmm, maybe I'll be a bandwagon bandwagon sens fan. Traditionally, I'm a Canucks fan, and they're still my #1 team. However, moving away from Ottawa and being a die hard hockey fan (and since the Canucks are so far away and in a different conference), I became a sens fan, but this was before everyone started jumping on board (when it was still laughable to wear a sens jersey). Although I am now a sens fan, I'm still more of a canucks fan, but I'm at peace with that. Once a year, when the sens play the canucks I cheer for the better team (canucks).
However, I realised that there's more to being a sens fan than I imagined. See, the city is overwhelmed with bandwagon sens fans. What's different between a bandwagon fan and one who became a sens fan you ask? Well, when I became a sens fan, I decided to stay a sens fan though good times and bad times, and that I would cheer for them even if they are in 30th place. Bandwagon fans (which Ottawa has a lot of) abandon their team when they're not so good, even shunning them after a bad loss.
Is their room for die hard fans in Ottawa? Maybe I should jump on the bandwagon of the bandwagon sens fan and become a bandwagon bandwagon sens fan--not a bandwagon fan by choice, but because everyone else is doing it. I encourage other die hard sens fans to become bandwagon bandwagon fans--this is our culture and no one can take it away from us, not even die hard leafs fans.
Sens suck, 5-0 loss to Boston. I'll never be a fan until they win again! Now I feel like I belong in Ottawa.
That was all really a long rant to convince all those people I see around the city who have been crapping on the team because of 2 or 3 game slumps, or one somewhat bad loss to stop getting down on a team in second place. Leafs fans are still optomistic and they've had their team floating in the toilet with Bettman's hand on the flusher since the new NHL started.
So, in conclusion, next sens fan who says "man, what's wrong with the sens...did you see that game" to my face will get a wave of the finger from me. Also, which retard thought it was inappropriate to have Tyson on a helmut as he might be a poor role model? We don't tell Curtis Joseph he can't have Cujo on his helmut because it teaches kids that pets are dangerous, or tell Belfour he can't have an eagle on his helmut because it makes kids idolize the symbol of America rather than be proud of Canada. I never thought I'd live to see the day that goalie helmuts were censored, in a sport with fighting, McSorely, Bertuzzi, and Ponikorovsky we're worried Mike Tyson might soil hockey's image?
