Just like here along the Gulf Coast, you couldn’t find a Saints fan anywhere when they were called the “AINTS”.
But as soon as they win a Superbowl with Drew Brees and Co. Bot there were Saints fans everywhere! Stickers on cars, License plates, merchandise in all the convenience stores, Team Jerseys everywhere. It was disgusting. If you are a fan of a team, you stick with them thru thick and thin.
All that Saints merchandise is now in the Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift shops for a dollar..........
I suffered through 50 years of not even one Super Bowl appearance with the Chiefs. That has made the recent success so so sweet. The real fans don’t desert their team...in general, I have found Chiefs fans pretty resilient and humble.
