I was on Rafters reading about some of the “darker” times we are in with Cal and the post-season drought of success. This post isn't meant to bash all of Rafters because a lot of posters over there are great posters on the Lair.
Anyway, I was skimming through some posts and stumbled across a phrase that I see often there, and the phrase is “our fans deserve better”. Here’s what I’m trying to figure out.
A. Does a fan base “deserve better” based on how much pressure they put on the school/program to be excellent
Or
B. Does a fan base “deserve better” because they’ve shown to be long-suffering yet show up at games regardless of outcome?
Or
C. Is it due to financial contributions on thel part of fans toward the program?
One condition I didn’t add is fans feeling they are deserving because of a coaches salary (base plus endorsements, incentives etc). This doesn’t affect the fan’s personal, financial bottom line.
What type of fan base is truly “deserving”?
