This is sums up being a fan perfectly

Today the New York Times did a great profile on Borussia Dortmund difficult season in Germany. In the story a season ticket holder summed up being a fan perfectly.

“It is like my girlfriend,” said Jan-Henrik Gruszecki, a longtime season-ticket holder. “I have a big fight with her; I am disappointed with her; I am gutted by her. But then, always, I realize that I love her and I want to be with her and I can’t imagine anything else.”

No words have been truer about being a fan,  no matter what the sport.
