The No. 1 Job of Fans of a Struggling Team

Thanks to Frederick Douglass, he gave me insight into the #1 job of fans of a struggling team. And it's just one word!

A few weeks before his death in 1895, Frederick Douglass was asked what advice he would give. His response?

"Agitate! Agitate! Agitate!"

What does it mean to agitate? "To campaign in order to arouse public concern about an issue in the hope of prompting action." Yes!

One thing that we must realize is that every team in one way or another will go through some valleys. And to be fair, the Colorado Rapids have gone through Valley of Olympian proportions over the last two years.
