>>63085827>what can possibly account for it?The simple fact is that they don't have to win so they don't
Leafs fans are honestly the biggest idiots I've ever seen. They will cheer regardless of how bad the team is doing, and still dump hundreds of dollars a year on merchandise and watch every game on TV.
The Leafs can be down 0-7 in a game and not have a single win in the season, but if they score just one goal the fans go crazy and they completely forget about everything else and just think about the one goal and that somehow keeps them engaged.
I'm from Toronto and I used to cheer for the Leafs when I was younger, I gave up years ago and don't even watch hockey anymore because when I realized this.
No other business in the world could get away with what the Leafs do. Imagine Coke started selling literal piss in their cans, and people kept buying it year after year. They would continue to sell piss because no one demands anything better.
