"Cherish the Parity
May 26, 2010 by Andrew Jones
Imagine an NFL where the only teams to have won the Super Bowl in its 44-year history were the New York Giants (16), New York Jets (16), Buffalo Bills (10), and the Green Bay Packers (4). Would you still watch? How about if the Packers hadn't won in 20 years?
Imagine 28 franchises never having tasted victory at the end of the season. Imagine more than half of those never even really getting close. What would your reaction be if you lived in Chicago, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, or anywhere else? Would you continue cheering for your hometown team or would you give up on it all and just start cheering for somebody who was going to win in New York?
The situation I have described is nearly identical to what has faced soccer fans in Turkey."
