Ok
guys so I am houston texas and for the whole city the sky has more than fallen. The Texans in a year where they were thought to be a prime super bowl contender are a major flop. Matt Schaub throws a lot of pick 6s and gets hurts. Fans "cheer" his injury and roar as back up TJ yates (has has equal number of plays wins and games as schaub) takes the field only to throw a pick 6 of his own and then throw another pick in the red zone later. So thats the back drop, but the issue I bring to you is the comments made by ANDRE JOHNSON so a few weeks back stated "i dont care what fans think" then Schaub states" I play from my family team mates & coaches" see how he left out fans or the city of houston? Then after the injury yesterday the "cheering" lots of team mates of Schaub said the "houston fans have no class" so there is a big problem in H town the fans are fustrated with the play and players want "LOYAL" fans who I guess will not boo and support ANY thing that is placed on the field...and by support I mean MONEY. Now there are fans who believe they pay the team salary by SUPPORTING the team (that word support comes up alot) Player seem to think they dont owe fans much at all. to makes matter worse local radio and news coverage states "fans dont pay salary of players nor teams" creating more rage among whos entilted here. NFL fans are "INTENDED" to be loyal by always buying jerserys, season tickets, beer and 10 dollar hotdogs and raising our children to BLEED the colors of our citys team. If we dont like the team when they are LOOSING or putting a bad product on the field we are called "FAIR WEATHER FANS" (another andre Johnson statment) so when did this become a one sided love affair? In what other aspect of life do we blindly support (money/emotion) with out any results? many marriages end over a similar issue lack of getting the result (love ) that you want. My opinion on this issue is as such. I believe that every pro athelate, movie star, muscian, you name it artist, have all been blessed with a life of COUNTLESS blessings not really based on there talent nor skill but more so because FANS see value in them and give them there time MONEY and emotional support. There a lot of talented people in this world who never get the fame and fortune you mat know some of these people. How many of you have gone to a comic con or toy show and see rows of very skilled artist and they have to sell there work for 10 bucks a drawing at a con and they never got a shot at DC or marvel or Lucas arts? I recently meet JAMES O BARR (creator of the CROW) at the university I work at and he several times stated that hes"been given a blessed life cause people like his drawings and story" CLAUDIO SANCHEZ of coheed and cambria states in every live preformance that "he thanks the fans for supporting the show and the band which has allowed them to produce 7 albums". I honeslty have become falling out of love for my NFL houston texans not cause of thier loosing record (i have been a fan for the 10 years it took them to make the playoffs) but for the way the team is lashing out at the fans. I remember last year getting to in to the games and wating them to win so badly for THERE OWN benfit my wife said "you gonna give yourself a STROKE" Funny that I could give my self a stroke and not one Texan would know nor care. IN other words Mr Andre Johson.....if you dont care about me then why should I care about you.
