Rooted In the Home Teams

How much sacrifice could you devote to your sports team? How long can you hold on to their promise of victory and salvation? How far can you take the fight alongside them before letting go of your hope?

 

Being a fan of any sport means more than buying season tickets and merchandise. It means more than memorizing the stats of every player and recognizing the plays their coaches are about to make.

 

No. Rooting for the home teams requires more than that. It demands boundless faith and belief that your team will deliver no matter how many times they’ve failed in the past. It demands opening up your heart to the promise of “next time” despite the risk of getting it broken over and over. It demands devotion even when the best they can offer is another “almost.”
