That pretty arrogant of you, saying someone doesn't get being a Houston sports fan just because they take a different view from you. You talk about how its just entertainment and then act as if the Astros, Texans, Rockets, Dynamo or any Houston team winning or losing actually has that big an affect on your life. Tell me did your life dramatically change after the Astros won? Did it change after the scandal came out? Do you really think it would if the Texans or Rockets or whoever won? Its fun for a few days of celebration but ultimately it didn't put more money in my pocket or help me and my family to stay healthy.
If not making football or any other sport such a big part of my life that I sit around and talk about the heartbreak and failure then sure I don't understand the Houston fan base. I'm on these forums as much as I am strictly because the site is not blocked at work and it kills downtime with something I find, mostly, entertaining not because all I think about is Texans football.
You know what though, I hate to tell you this but that 99% you talk about agree with me more than they do you, oh sure there would be a parade, people would take a day off work, run out and buy the caps and shirts and mugs and the mayor would make a speech naming it "Texans day" or something but the next day it would be business as usual. More and more I read on here the more I think those "casual fans" have the right idea because they don't worry about this stuff and they actually seem to enjoy the game far more than any of us do.
