Fans extreme lack of knowledge about their sports clubs

When it comes to publicity it appears that people literally often do believe everything that they read. When it comes to ‘sport people’ who label themselves as so called fans to a specific sports club, some tend to show a lack of what can only be described as common sense.

 

They think about the club in an extreme single minded way. They moan because something doesn’t appear to be being done in the correct way. They rage when a certain member of a team does not get played. They expect everything to be done as if sport is a perfect fairy-tale film.

I truly feel that these people, if they are to call themselves fans need to take a little time out and think far deeper into what supporting a club really means.

They should consider that a sports club is something far greater than watching a game, what they read in the papers, see on the television and what is read on forums.

Somebody else could do a better job?

It also becomes clear from countless media related items that I have trawled through that the majority appear to ‘be able to do the job’ far better than anybody else that is already involved. I would love for these people to be put in such a position; I am almost certain that they would fail immediately. However, if indeed these people were thrown in at the deep end then maybe they would finally begin to understand the true depth of how difficult it must be when you are faced with making decisions within a sporting environment.

For example. if a specific player who appears to be a gift from heaven to the sport is not played for a game or indeed several games, uproar occurs amongst fans. This is often targeted immediately at the management. Surely thinking logically about this situation, there is likely to be an underlying issue. If not the player would indeed be played. Once again we see the straightforward view of supporters.

Because many of these ‘fans’ seem to stick to such a narrow view, they also appear incapable of understanding just how difficult it must be for sports clubs at present. The clubs have not been isolated from the economic climate that we are emerged within. This is surely common sense. How can people have so little world knowledge that this does not occur to them?

I truly feel that some of these people who choose to support a sports club, and whom insist on making it such a huge part of their lives need to re consider their actions. Do not get me wrong, as mentioned there are those who clearly do think about and understand things; but there are also many who fail to do so.
