Good Morning, Islanders Country.
Being a fan of your favorite sports team isn’t always easy. There are highs, but there are just as many—if not more—lows. Some seasons feel like a never-ending cycle of heartbreak, frustration, and disappointment. Yet, no matter how many losses pile up, how many leads are blown, or how many questionable coaching decisions are made, walking away never truly feels like an option.
I’m not suggesting that anyone was ready to ‘walk away’ if the Isles lost on Sunday night, but I am suggesting that many fans were ready to scale things back if they had. Maybe you would give away some of your season tickets; maybe you would follow the game on your phone; perhaps you’d watch March Madness over a game or spend time with your wife and kids instead of Brendan and Butch.
Imagine that.
