There’s an interesting dichotomy to being an NFL team fan every year. Each season, you want your team to put itself in the best position to win a championship. But to do so, the team must make sacrifices, often getting rid of fan favorite players. This creates an interesting source of cognitive dissonance in the minds of fan: do you root for your team as a static entity or as the players that make up that team?
