I have a few questions for my fellow Seahawks fans.
Lets say we have a friend who watches Game of Thrones every week. She's seen every season and has even read all of the books the show is based on. Despite how often she watches the show, all she seems to do is complain about it. She points out what she thinks doesn't make sense, how things were so different and so much better in the books, and how bad she thinks the show has become overall. Regardless, she continues on checking for information about upcoming casting choices, discussing both the show and books online, and still meets up with various friends to watch Game of Thrones each and every week that it's being broadcast.
Yes or no, would you say this friend of ours is a fan of the Game of Thrones TV show?
Lets say we have another friend. Like us this friend is a Seahawks fan. When he's not busy getting up to date on the most recent Seahawk news, he also follows what's happening with the San Francisco 49ers. He knows who a fair number of their FO members, players, and coaches are. He can speak at length about the numerous problems the 49ers organization has been experiencing and has a few delightful theories about specifically why they've done so poorly in recent years. He frequently interacts with 49er fans over the internet to discuss the 49ers team and debate opinions about their organization. Even on his favorite Seahawks message board, some of the topics found there about the 49ers will often be the first ones he looks at. He has done this for several years now.
Yes or no, would you say Sports Herni- I mean, this friend of ours is also a fan of the San Francisco 49ers?
If you said the first person was a fan and the second was not, do you think there's anything inconsistent about how you went about making these decisions?
