Professional sports are a little strange. Most fans put their heart and soul into a franchise. They cheer for this team their entire life and they live and die with the successes and failures of the organization. There’s a well-known phrases about “cheering for the logo on the front, not the name on the back.” However, it doesn’t always work out that way.
Most fans have a favorite player and, in most cases, that player plays on their favorite team. Regardless of who this player is, fans take special pride out of watching their favorite player succeed. However, sports are also a business. Teams sometimes have to make difficult decisions and sometimes popular players are traded and released.
This is what happened to our beloved Peyton Manning.
So how do we cope with Manning’s departure?
1. Continue to cheer on the Colts
2. Instantly become a fan of the next team Manning plays for
Keep your head up and remember it’s only a game.
