BUT I WILL POST A LOT ON THE INTERNET!
And I will especially make a point to say I don't care like I used to, even though deep down inside I really do.
I actually really don't. After the first half of Arizona game I packed up my gym bag and headed out and played a game of racquetball instead. Yeah I checked the scores to see what happened especially with the Panthers but I had no interest in watching that pathetic first half performance continue. I knew that like every other game we would probably resemble a football team in the second half but we continue to pay people to make us look like crap the first half of basically every game over and over again - they don't care so why would I care as much.
Complete Seahawk fans - won't ever change but the emotional investment is on a down trend right now until I personally feel entertained. That is my decision and everyone else will make their own personal decision. Doesn't mean not interested or still on the forum just the emotional involvement is down
I find it interesting that sports fandom is one of the few entertainment products available where you're chided for walking away from an unentertaining mess (however you define that).
"It's not that bad, there has been worse" isn't really that meaningful in getting fired up to watch a game and hope to see some cool things.
Im totally a "cool things" kind of fan - Beast Quake made me want to watch every single Seahawk game going forward because there was the fear of missing out on that kind of awesome. Up until that point I liked football, the sport, way more than the Seahawks, the team.
2017 was the least entertaining football I have watched in the PC era. The least hopeful. The least inspiring. Now that just might be how it goes when you have low roster and coaching turnover and diminishing performances. But seriously Pete, give me a hook for why I should tune in regularly next season. The platitudes don't cut it.
Just being a fan of football and the Seahawks isn't enough to make plans around the game, invite people over, make snacks, drink brews, smoke joints, laugh and cry together when my expectation for next season is just more of the criminally boring and uninspiring halves.
I'm not a literary nerd but I absolutely call on the perception of story and narrative to contextualize things and make it fun - I said it elsewhere yesterday but it just feels like the story is over and we're getting a half assed epilogue/catalogue of all the failings of our heroes to turn a short story into a novella.
