Winning Cures All Ills
I will freely admit that when it comes to most things sports-related, I am an illiterate. However what I do know is that unless you’re the Chicago Cubs, the biggest cure all for whatever ails your professional sports team is winning, and the Indiana Fever are doing it.
The Indiana Fever are on the verge of a WNBA national championship and that has led to a packed House at Conseco. The Fever can clinch the title tonight against Phoenix and the fans will be there. Granted it took a while to catch on, but I’ll take a full stadium any day over a near empty one; cue the Pacers.
The Pacers have suffered from horrible attendance over the past few years some of which is the result of market forces and a lot of it is self-inflicted. Things are so bad they are asking the taxpayers for a $15 million bailout by assuming the operational costs of Conseco. Of course all this could be avoided if the Pacers started winning.
All you have to do is go back in history and look at the Indianapolis Colts. Remember the 1-15 season? Or was that seasons? Regardless, there is no way the Colts would have got a new stadium at the taxpayers expense if they weren’t winning games.
My point is this, when you win life is good and the public is very forgiving and you can get pretty much whatever you want.
Go Fever.
