Your argument isn't wrong, but you kneccapped yourself (sorry HMP)
with the first analogy,
If Tom Crean came out and said anything like that.......well of course he wouldn't, and it's the kind of straw man argument I'm talking about. I KNOW you don't think anything Tom Crean has ever said, or any coaching decision he has ever made, is anything like the kind of thing you said in that first paragraph. So it's a wasted analogy. Further, I agree with your most everything you posted, except the inference that I could take any satisfaction in seeing my team lose. Here's another example: When the 49ers hired Dennis Erickson, I hated the hire. Hated him the entire time he was the coach, hated the results, hated everything. I still watched on Sunday and wanted them to win every game. Was this logical? I don't know, probably not. I don't and wouldn't expect everyone to feel the same way, nor do I think those who didn't "weren't real fans".
I do get a little peeved when the act of caring, taking ON ITS OWN, is cause for derision, because I think that's nonsense. (See my reply to Ziz for more details on that).
Additionally, my arguing with you, or anyone, doesn't mean I don't understand, or that I'm a "dummy" or "dense". I get it COMPLETELY, and I simply don't agree. I get the arguments people on the other side of the political spectrum make too, but it doesn't mean I agree.
