When your sports team or favorite athlete loses every year, what keeps you motivated to keep supporting them vs cheering for someone who wins?

Because I'm a loyal supporter and would never cheer for a rival 🥴😂

Because if you are true fan you support then no matter what for example I follow 4 sports

F1 my favourite driver hasn't won in 4 years but he's my idol

AFL my team hasn't won a final in 18 years

NRL my team hasn't made finals in 11 years

Soccer my team hasn't won a trophy in 5 years

But I love them and i support them

I don't seek out teams that consistently win or lose, but my home teams for example, have all just about won their championships at least once over the years, so though I may continue to support them in their non winning times, I also already know what it's like to feel the joy of them winning in a season. I guess I should have been more specific, but some teams just never win and never come close---what in those cases keeps those fans motivated as opposed to like the teams you support because like me, you knew or know them to have won before.

I understand you my answer would still be because they love them and miracles for example Leicster city in soccer were almost relegated in 14/15 they were 9000 dollars to win the league 15/16 they won biggest sporting miracle so for those fan they still have the hope one day will win as they did

Because I’m a loyal Miami Dolphins 🐬 football 🏈 fan and they spent a lot of money now On free agency so they should be real good

Still love the Athlete or the team and stay strong until it's over depending where you at or leave in a calm way if the fans are crazy.

Like having sex with the same woman more than once. You like her but pray the sex will get better one day
