Would you remain a Texans fan if lock out?

I will always be a Texans fan. It would royally suck if there's a lockout next year, I would hate that... but I would continue to be a Texans fan. If we become a franchise like the Saints and never win a playoff game for 40 years... I would still be a fan. I would be an unhappy fan, I would cry a lot on Sundays... but it would allow me to learn many new curse words and I'd always be a fan of the Texans.

If what you're asking is related strictly to the lockout and nfl in general, I love football. I've lost touch of the NBA and MLB but if Houston has an NFL team - they will be my favorite team and I will always be a fan.
 
The only way they would lose me as a fan as if they completely overhauled the roster while also having the lockout.

I no longer live in Houston, so the identity of the team I root for is players like Andre Johnson.

Lose him, and you start to remove my connection to the team. Less so for others, but the point remains.

I can't root for a logo alone
 
I think I might give it one more head coach, which would be roughly a 4-5 year trial of being a fan of this team.

If I see the same results with the NEXT head coach, then I will assume that the ownership and upper management is rotten and will never get it right.

So, if that happens, I won't whip myself for the rest of my life trying to hang on as a Texans fan. I doubt I will take on another team as my favorite. I'll just become an NFL fan and watch whatever games I feel will be the most entertaining.

I'm missing a lot of good football (via Sunday Ticket and all the games that are available to me every Sunday) due to trying to stomach a whole Texans game from start-to-finish.

I know this might upset a lot of you, but it is what it is. if I feel the ownership is the root of all problems, and since you can't fire the owner, then you're left with two choices: (1) Stay and be forever angry after almost every Sunday...with the resentment running all week long, then the process repeating itself all over again, or (2) Just come to grips with reality and lay down the crack pipe...watch other games. Enjoy life more.

I hope we get a TRUE head coach the next time around. The Mickey Mouse experiment of McNair--trying to unearth a "gem" of a head coach, instead of going BIG and BOLD--has to end after Kubiak. He's gotta' make a major splash, in my eyes, to be taken seriously as an NFL franchise owner.

Otherwise, the guy is who I have said he is: Concerned about stability and bottom line over anything else.

And THIS fan can't accept that sort of attitude from the owner. I don't want him going crazy and firing head coaches every two years. But I also don't want this glacial pace he's taking with Kubiak right now. It's obscene and insulting to the fans who really watch and care about this team. True?
 
I have made a commitment to this organization, in its current incarnation, fiscally and time wise.

To paraphrase Black Dynamite, "I'm gonna shake the tree from the roots and rake up the fruits, rip it up out of the ground, find out what's going down," until we get this thing right.
 
I seldom have any interest for any NBA, NFL or baseball game unless it is the Houston team or if the game's outcome has a very significant impact on my team. I'm a long time follower from the Houston Colts becoming Astros to Rockets giving away tickets for bread wrappers. I still read articles by John McClain when he talks about Bud Adams and Mr. Hunt starting the AFL. I was amused at the Luv Ya Blue bandwagon fans but moved over and gave them plenty of leg room. I hated when Judge Roy begin to lose to the creditors, Don Wilson committed suicide and the stroke of a very tall Astro pitcher who would have been the best pitcher of all times if only..

Then the Astros went on strike over glutony and after Uncle Draytie ran off Hunsicker, I just felt I was the kid saying "Thank you sir! May I have another." I now turn to other channels when radio guys start talking baseball.

And then Alexander fell in love with Yao and Yuan. I even forgave the Rockets for trading 3 first round picks for a sad lunatic. 1994 & 95 fade further into history and I never DREAM anymore.

Bud Adams spit on my blue suede shoes and moved to Tennessee and the years passed. Slowly. Then Robert 'Bob' McNair hit the resuscitate button and my EKG machine spiked. Football! Houston had football even if other sports teams had a bull, ours was the bestest, kick assiest looking ever. I made excuses for David Carr and was ridiculed on these pages. And now my "girlfriend" is telling me how valuable I am and "what's the limit on your credit card again, baby?"

It has been a long time since my mama put food on the table and said eat it or dinner is over. If I don't like what my sports teams are putting in front of me and right now I do not, I can find other things to do. My happiness is not tied to a ball of any shape.

I think a lock out by the NFL owners would have me saying "Take this sport and shove it. I ain't watching it no more."
 
As I have said before, as long as it says Houston in front of the name then I am a fan for life.

For that matter the name Texans because I can't imagine that would fly in any other state texanpride

I never thought this season would go like this. My question is if NFL owners decided to lock out for a season, would you be "ready for some football" a year later or be an ex-Texans fan? Most are pretty angry at McNair and I wonder if a missed season would be the straw that broke the camels back?

Why would this make someone become an ex-Texans fan???? I can see you asking whether someone would stop being a fan of NFL football, but specifically the Texans? How are they any different than the other 31 teams? What would you do? Start following another NFL team because all 32 teams were involved in the lockout???

I am a TEXANS fan for life. The only thing that would stop me from being an NFL fan is if they change the sport to something that doesn't even resemble real football.
 
If the lockout causes the loss of more than 4 games ,I will tune out the rest of the season.
If the NFL appoints an owner as the Commish that will be the day , I would stop paying attention to the NFL.

I will remain a Texans fan, but I'll be pissed about a lockout. If a lockout occurs, it'll take some time for the NFL to get back to its current revenue generation potential. Frankly, I don't care what the gripes the owners have, just shut up and play football. It's hard to be sympathetic when the teams are making millions every year.

I was too young to remember the last NFL strike, but I hope this one doesn't occur. I live for football every year, and college football isn't enough to get my fix. If the lockout occurs I'll support the Texans, but I'll probably stop watching all the other games it puts on.
