I saw a tweet the other day that has stuck with me for several days. I think it was by Bomani Jones, but I can’t find it now for some reason. Anyway, it said something to the effect of, “Your sports teams don’t owe you wins. Your ticket price, cable subscription, etc… is paying for entertainment – not victories.” The point being that the players and coaches of any level of sport don’t owe you, the viewer or fan, anything besides entertainment.
For whatever reason, maybe it’s because this is a slow sports season, but the more I thought about it, this kind of shattered my worldview as someone who consumes sports regularly.
