Maybe you need to read your
own posts more carefully.

Some things yes, some no.

It's not a straw man. I said if it doesn't apply to you, then I take it back.

Bronco shouldn't be questioning the investment of commitment of the fans when his very job is paid by the fans. Since you are relatively clueless as to how D-1 football programs operate financially, I can tell you that a 100% fan subsidy for a coaches salary is almost unheard of. Of all the things Bronco can complain about, fans being "invested" in the program is the worst one.

I don't get Bronco's or Bright's comments at all in regards to this matter. It seems as though they are saying the opposite of what you are. We're not fully invested so we're not entitled to booing I think. But what I think they really mean is that if we were fully invested then we wouldn't boo at all.

Sure, when you spend time and money on learning about, caring about, and watching a team, there's a sense of euphoria or disappointment that accompanies their performance.
But I don't think that grants someone the right to be a jerk, especially when in truth, your contribution is very small and only indirectly relates to said performance.
