I cannot understand the mentality of those who say "its just the JPT"

why do you bother supporting a football team at all. It just happens to be the one and only chance of a cup final we have in years, assuming we hopefully get promoted. What exactly is the point of supporting a football team if it is not to experience occasions like that? What exactly is so special about the league that everything else is deemed immaterial? If you are going to take that view then the whole thing is futile anyway, I have no doubt that were I to go into a 10 year coma I would wake up and find us probably in the middle of the championship?
