Former MLB general manager Jim Bowden went on the Foul Territory podcast and bravely proposed the boldest idea in modern sports discourse: if your team stinks, simply stop being a fan.
Bowden's advice to fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates and other “bottom-15 markets”? If your team doesn’t win, just stop caring. Trade yourself to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Root for someone else. Watch them come into your city and beat your hometown team, and hey — at least you get to feel good.
That isn't just lazy analysis; it’s wildly tone deaf, insulting and completely disconnected from what sports fandom actually is.
