Pistons Fans: Are You Fueling Your Hope with Hype?

Hype is thick. Hype can cloud the windshields of our lives. It’s in the next great movie we see commercials for, products we absolutely must have and in the eyes of entrepreneurs every idea they have. Hype fuels hope for so many things we hold dear and experience each and every day. Our personal passions are not immune, nor should they be.

Sports and the teams that drive passion and fanaticism are steeped in hype that inevitably fuels hope. The two are connected and some would say interchangeable.

A passionate Pistons fan hopes for a great season and quite possibly feels invigorated by the hype of Stanley Johnson, ownership and coaching stability and growth of fan-driven sites like PistonPowerd.
