Attention Tankers


Coming from the opposite side of the pond, the idea of wanting the team you root for to lose is quite alien to me in general. I do understand that the way the NFL is set up rewards the team with the worst record, so i understand why some would want to see their team do bad after you are eliminated from the Playoffs.

But there is something i can't seem to get my head around. If i was wanting my team to lose, i would stop watching their games and just look out for the result. I asked some question in a different thread but unfortunately i got no answers and am none the wiser on this subject so i decided to write this fanpost. With this in mind i have some question to those fans.

1) Do you still watch the games?

2) Why do you watch the games?

3) What do you get out of watching these games?

I'm not here to judge anybody, I'm just looking to understand what it's like to watch your team play a game you want them to lose in.

Thanks for reading.
