That is very true and I believe it's the case here.
I suppose I could be put in a
similar boat. Loved Michael Jordan when he first burst on the scene and won a championship. Then, I started to cheer for teams going against the Bulls. In baseball, I cheer against the Yankees. The difference between those who spout venom and I is that I don't have any venom.
I prefer to cheer for someone as opposed to cheer against someone.
