Well a lot has changed that has fueled the "Fair Weather Fan."
Players used to be "Loyal" to the team.
The team used to be "Loyal" to the player.
and...
Fans used to be "Loyal" to both team and player.
Except sometime during the late 80's players started switching teams at the drop of a hat. Mostly looking for a better paycheck. Then the NFLPA was started and players demanded more money.
Greed fed both players and owners and in the end players will go wherever the money is, owners will either be cheap and let the player go or pay the player and raise the ticket prices the following year to cover the cost.
The fans have been forgotten. To everyone else it's about money but to the fans all thats left is to enjoy a "good" team. Well the Skins ever since Gibbs1 have not fielded a decent team. Norv made the play offs once. Gibbs2 made it twice. So go figure as to why there are "Fair weather Fans." Oh did I mention the fact that ticket prices keep getting more expensive each year and the fans see nothing in return but a mediocre team?
