Lighten up!

Some fans act like that if the team does not win "for them (the fans)" that they (the team) have committed some gross moral offense against them, and that coaches who do not produce winners are something akin to baby rapists. The team and the coach "owe" them winning. Yes, we support the team, but other fans support the other team. Unless the coach is willfully negligent, he is doing his best. If he can't get it done, he will be replaced at some point. And he is supporting his family by the job.

It is what it is. My life does not revolve around sporting events. I think sometimes we just need to lighten up a little. Sure, we enjoy winning, but a loss (or even a bunch of losses) is not a life-changing event for fans - unless their priorities are WAY out of kilter.
