P.S. I love the bandwagon fans who cheer the teams who beat their favorite teams just so they could beat the Heat. |
People love winners too, don't be silly. How many little kids rooted for Jordan, Joe Montana back in the day, or Lebron, Aaron Rodgers today as examples. People dislike the heat because the way they announced themselves to the league in the biginning with the "not 1, not 2, not 7" nonsense. Mind you this was before they won anything. We all know most pro athletes are arrogant, but that was a entirely new level of d-baggery.
Anyways, I think most people are over that to some degree. A lot of people just like to root for the longshot or underdog. It's not personal, its just fun to sometimes root for David and not Goliath...
And yes, the Heat do have many shitty fans but a smaller core of die hards too. Miami has a lot of shit to do though, so I don't blame them for not living and breathing basketball. Also has a lot of wealth. You want to see a die hard sports town, visit Cleveland (espesially our Browns). We don't win shit every year yet we come out again and again. It's like we are gluttons for punishment!
