I'm writing this from a place of experience. Bad, expensive, regrettable experience.
Here's the thing about why your favorite team is actually garbage: everyone's thinking it, I'm just saying it. Call me a truth-teller. Call me reckless. Call me an ambulance because the takes in this article are going to hurt.
I've done the research. I've watched the games. I've consumed an unhealthy amount of content. And my conclusion is this: we're all just making this up as we go. At least I'm honest about it.
Remember: we're all degenerates here. Some of us just write about it.
