With the Rams now playing the role of “contenders,” and a mega-stadium on the way, the team is likely to start drawing bandwagon type fans.
How do you feel about that?
As someone who, like many here, measures his time as a Rams fanatic in decades, my answer might seem surprising.
I don’t really mind them.
Its nice to finally have a team that can attract those drawn to fair weather. I say, with minor caveats, the more the merrier.
Some bandwagon fans will get hooked, and stick around for the long haul, even when things (as is inevitable) go South again (hopefully not for a long time). Others may fade out eventually. That’s okay, in my book. Not everyone needs to be a diehard.
I’d say the only type of bandwagon fan that bothers me are the ones who jump from team to team. That, to me, is disingenuous.
But to those just now taking an interest because the Rams started winning...I say, pull up a chair...there’s always room for more people at the table.
