If you are a diehard fan of any sports team, ifs a tough night when your team gets eliminated from postseason play. Who do you think takes it harder in general, the diehard fans of the team, or the players on the team. Its just my opinion but I think the players as much as they want to win have an easier time putting it behind them, than the fans. Not in all cases, but in general.
The players generally have a shitload of money, nice houses, cars, boats, hot wives, there kids, and other things to soften the blow. They can golf, go on vacations, or whatever.
The fans in some cases can be way to serious about there sports teams and can go into a serious funk after there team loses. Sometimes its too much of a focal point in there lives.
Also the fan has rooted for that uniform his whole life while the player in many cases has no real emotional connection with the team or its history.
So, I'm going with the fan.
For me personally, I used to let my team losing eat me up for awhile when I was younger. Nowadays, it generally bums me out for 24 hours and then I tend to accept in it and move on.
Your thoughts?
