Michael Cardoza: Are you a bandwagon fan?

April 13, 2015 Leave a Comment

 

Michale Cardoz asks, Is there anything worse than a “Bandwagon Fan?” Professional teams have made it patently clear that they are in a business. They trade your favorite players, rosters change from season to season, they charge seat license fees, they raise ticket prices. Loyalty seems to be a one way street, you be loyal to them yet they owe you no loyalty. “Bandwagon Fan” is a term concocted by the owners of professional sports teams. Are you a “Bandwagon Fan?”
