The Washington Wizards and their fan base are in a catch-22.
The fans have grown apathetic, waiting decades for a real contender capable of not only making the playoffs, but being a legitimate threat for the championship.
In the meantime, blame has befallen the fans for the Wizards’ inability to land a prime free agent, for their failures to defend home court, and for the environment at the Verizon Center.
I’ve written on several occasions that any blame placed on the fans is misplaced and the team’s history over the past 37 years hasn’t warranted the support it’s been argued the team deserves.
