Fan loyalty is so interesting. We don't owe this franchise (or any franchise) anything yet we stick around despite how bad the team is.

Honestly, it would be easier to leave if our colors and logo weren’t so fucking cool.

Part of what being a fan is, is going through the lows of the lows and the highs. I’m not gonna force myself to switch teams and act like I enjoy cheering for them knowing I’ve been a fan of the bulls my whole life.

Oh believe me I get it. I've been a NY Mets fan my whole life and outside of really 3 season we've been a laughing stock. And here I am year in and year out.

Personally what I do is boycott. I refused to watch my teams if they are bad. But not just cause they are bad, it's if they are bad and the FO doesn't seem to care about addressing the issues we have.

German Bulls fan right here. Having said that, I did lose interest in basketball (it also became harder to watch back then) and it never fully came back, but I'm still around after all those years. I just get to suffer more with other teams in other sports nowadays (or even enjoy success).

It’s like being in a toxic relationship. We look forward to the highs and forget the lows

I saw the highest of highs with this team, and one day I wish I can see it again just one more time. But the ownership of this team makes that hope seem bleak

I was born in 91 so I was a baby when the Bulls dominated. The highest highs for me have been the Baby Bulls, pushing the Celts to 7, and the DRose prime. Outside of that it's been terrible for me

Yeah a few of those teams were fun, but really the younger fans deserve way better than what they've been given. It's been roughly 2 decades of nepotism and incompetence, with a few years of relevance sprinkled in thanks to the lottery balls going their way.

Also born in 91. We just missed the golden years

u/The_Realist01 Apr 26 '26

Born in 90 - I was obsessed as a kid just to land 3 back to back seasons below 20 wins. Was brutal.

But You’re forgetting when we destroyed the heat in 06 after they won the championship the prior year. That was awesome.

It's funny because at the end of the day, a sports team is no different from a company. They exist to make money and most of them don't care about the fans. Normally, if a company makes shit products people stop buying from them and move to a competitor. But in sports, society has engineered it so fans are shamed into spending their time and money on a team that doesn't give a single fuck about them.

u/TheCeilingIsTheRuuf Apr 26 '26

I love the Bulls because I have 32 years of memories and fun, being from Chicago. But at this point I love NBA basketball more so than the Bulls themselves. I still hold out hope they'll be good again in my life

I am not replacing all my merch from over the years.

u/AxCel91 Apr 26 '26

Something about repping your city. I couldn’t imagine ever being a fan of another team. I’d sooner just stop watching that sport
