And you know what? It’s OK to feel like that if you’re a fan of the Colorado Rockies.
Being a fan of a sports team (or TV show or movie series or anything else for that matter) means that you have invested a piece of yourself into that team or genre. With that investment, you want some kind of return. You want the hero to win. You want some kind of closure at the movie’s end. You want your team to put itself in the best position to win … and then actually win.
When a team (or movie or TV show or restaurant or whatever you want to use here) lets you down, you feel like you didn’t get your investment back.
