Ok go prance back off to "Narnia" where the fans don't matter and the money grows off trees.
So you have nothing legitimate to state in the argument, so you tell me to go back off to Narnia ?
Seriously. I'm sorry to break that to you, but the revenue of the team will not allow the team to tank and "real fans" would not want to see the team lose anyway.
To summarize:
1) Strategically, it doesn't make sense as drafting well versus drafting position yields better results
2) We basically are rebuilding right now. Just not completely, flagrantly tanking and becoming so bad we're a lock for top 3 pick
3) When a GM says "fans" he means "revenue".
4) This team has the capacity to improve the future while being competitive now.
PS
I never said the fans don't matter. I said that it's not the priority. It's a system with everything intertwined. They're playing for success and so are the fans, so that's great, but to say that their motivators are how we feel about anything (ESPECIALLY when it's the suggestion to intentionally lose) is ludicrous.
