It's Better to Have Loved and Lost

ESPN national sports columnist and Boston native Bill Simmons has argued in the past that he believes it's preferable to be a fan of a team that has never won anything than to be a fan of a team that won a championship recently but is now on the way back down into oblivion. You could argue that he only says that because Boston people always need something to bitch about, but besides that, as a Cleveland native and a fan of Cleveland sports, I find his argument to be nauseatingly stupid, and I have this counterpoint: if it's indeed true that it's worse to have won and lost than to have never won at all, then are you saying, Mr. Simmons, that as both the world and American economies are going down the tank it would be better to be a Serbian right now, where things never got any better, than to be an American, where we had once thrived?

Fuck Boston with a dick full of AIDS.

Go Browns.
