Are there any acceptable excuses to abandon a team?

Start sports betting.

You can hate and love everyone all at once and call them all cock suckers and your best friends and life savers and assholes and useless , etc.

Just pull for teams you despise to
go down in flames.

I’m a Syracuse football fan. It’s been about 25 years of incompetence with an occasional season of mediocrity.

I have been trying to divorce these goobers for 20 years. I can't quit them though. I'm borderline hate watching at this point.

The Saints I have found frustrating and intolerable

Lifelong Louisiana resident here who was a Saints fan for over 40 years and have weeded them out steadily over the last few years to the point where I almost root against them.

It honestly hasn't been difficult. It probably started when a lot of his teammates sold Drew Brees down the river over that innocuous comment he made when the whole world was trying to go woke.

There are just a lot of unlikable assholes on the team that I just can't bring myself to root for just because they wear black and gold. Michael Thomas is certainly at the top of the list. And the organization as a whole I think is slowly headed down the shitter. So this seemed like a great time to hop off the bandwagon.

And I've grown to loathe the city of New Orleans itself and a lot of the people that live there. Last time I went to a game a couple years ago, the fans were trashy as hell.

The NBA is the most rigged and WWE like of the 5 professional sports leagues in US/Canada.

Just walk away.

I love football so much that my Saints diehardness has faded a great deal.

They will always be my favourite team, but it's also kinda fun when they lose to see everybody get so upset. RedZone is so great that I rarely watch only the Saints now, they're on my laptop with redzone on big screen and maybe my survivor game or biggest wager game on my phone.

Then I became a huge Brady fan (and now Burrow and Rodgers) so that shakes things up. It's also fun to have backup teams like the Bengals and Broncos and Seahawks and gambling and big money survivor contests muddied the water even more.

TLDR; you don't have to "abandon" your team, just enjoy other teams and storylines and that lessens the frustration of your team.

It’s easy once you realize professional sports all suck arse. Being an LSU fan only makes things easy.

Try being a UK football and Cincinnati Bengals fan in the 90s. You get no pity from me.

Yeah, when your team drafts a “generational talent” and supposedly elite human and all he does for 5 years is A) get injured, B) be out of shape and C) have poor character on and off the floor.

It’s definitely an excusable reason to abandon a team. I’m not speaking from personal experience or anything like that. This is purely hypothetical.

yes

if you were a fan of st.louis rams, orlando magic, chicago bhawks under wirtz, etc, you had every right to drop ur team. many of those teams were losing on purpose because of ownership.

If ownership is the whole issue, u can bolt, and come back if they sell
