Would you believe me if I told you Adam used to be even more of a homer than you? I used to call him Pompoms. The team could do no wrong. And then they broke him.
There is hope for you yet

I am not a big fan of being called a homer or an apologist or whatever else I get called. I know you aren't trying to insult me, so please don't think I am upset. I am not.
But this is a sports team. I love the Oilers. They are by far my favorite team of all the sports. I follow them the most out of any of the sports I like to watch. I want the Oilers to win just as badly as everyone in here. When they lose, I hate it. But it's a sports team. If the Oilers never win a game again, I won't be happy, I will be pissed off but it's not life or death for me. My family will survive if the Oilers lose a game. So I do not see the point or value in my life to be overly negative about them because all it would do is ruin my mood. If a person wants too, they can go find something negative about every single thing out there. Life is too short to be miserable about something all the time.
So if people in here want to be negative and miserable about the Oilers all the time, have at it. But just because I choose not too be miserable about the Oilers 365 days a year doesn't mean I blindly accept what they do all the time. It's a sports team, it's not life or death.
|
Is it negative and miserable though to point out super obvious destructive patterns of a team you want badly to win? I think it's also comedic at this point because of how ridiculous it keeps being. It's like a cousin that keeps screwing up making the same mistakes no matter how many times his family tells them how to clean their act up. You still care for them, but there's a point where you're just going "oh...there's ____ being themself again!" and it's funny, unless they are seriously hurting themselves of course.
There are degrees of caring I suppose? There's the caring where you just so badly want to hope everything will work out you just ignore all the bad and make excuses for the failures on behalf of it. I guess that's fine, and maybe it's annoying when people point out that you're in a cycle of seeing failure and making excuses that the thing you're cheering for doesn't really deserve the benefit of.
Then there's caring there you can't help but to recognize all the mistakes being made and it annoys you, especially because you have zero control over fixing the problem. You have to find various ways to cope with having to witness the same mistakes over and over again, maybe laughing the stupidity of it, or venting about it with others that see the same issues, etc...
|
Doesn't really matter what I say does it. I say I don't like when they lose, I don't like when they screw up, I don't like all the moves they make but because I don't just repeat the same "oilers suck" message that many of you do, that apparently means I am an apologist who just makes excuses for them.
Believe what you want.
|
There is still lots of opportunity for conversation on this stuff. None of us are in the room. I couldn't blame you for accusing some people like me for being pessimistic by default on many things this org does, in this case hiring practices. I
personally think it's reasonable to argue that this org hasn't been that interested in hiring the best possible people to fix areas of obvious weakness based on years of poor results. Every new OBC friend that drops in ends up with another family member in departments that have completely let this org down for over a decade. We only can take notice of the ones with same last names too, who knows how many jobs are gifted to friends we've never heard of. In the end, our scouting sucks, and the org's employee chart keeps giving some low hanging fruit for guessing why.
|
I totally agree with you 100%. This team for a long time has made lots of mistakes and they still make some mistakes. I personally think they are better than they were but are they where I think they need to be as an organization? No I don't. I think there is still more improvement need. But just because I don't feel the need to start ever conversation on every topic with Oilers suck or drag up whatever bad draft pick or trade or signing every time I post, doesn't mean I am an apologist making excuses for them or accept or are happy no matter what with everything they do.
