Hey, I've got an idea...

As fans, why don't we focus on all the blemishes of the team?  We can obsess about whether another pimple will show up.  We can focus on the worst stat in our wins.  After all, if we worry it enough, maybe we'll somehow change things.  And, if one of them comes true, we can proudly say "I told you so!"

While we're at it, why don't we denigrate the winningest coach in basketball history.  After all, if she doesn't win every game, it's her fault for not doing what we want.  Hey, maybe we could start a campaign...


As for me, I want to cheer for the success and accomplishments of this team and the individuals and the coaches and staff that make up the team.  Heck, I'd rather cheer for the Stanford Twiddlywinks team than read the negativity shows up here for some of the sports.  I take joy in the wins and the successes, but I don't want to read the rancid rancor that I've seen on some posts in the Cardboard for some other sports and which seem to be starting to ferment in some posts on WBB.

I basically agree with your perspective, at the same time that I understand why people lay out their feelings about what's a problem with the team. We're fans, and when we're disappointed with a loss, we feel a need to express our disappointment. But yes, you're absolutely right. We need to write more celebrating the wins, the strengths, the excitement of this team. There's so much there. So . . . , cheers to all the posts about the really great things and players on this team. Thanks for putting us posters on notice.
