Even though the Tennessee Titans lost the Super Bowl by mere feet, they made it to the show. My favorite team, the Washington Redskins, didn't. I guess I could have hopped on the Titans' bandwagon, but my conscience wouldn't let me. I can't have two favorites. Now I know we're just talking about sports here, but the premise is one that applies to many other areas of life, nearly all of which are much more crucial that football.
Loyalty is important.
Loyalty helps define who you are. Loyalty shows what you're made of. A person of character cannot simply toss aside loyalty in favor of what might appear at the time to be a better offer. I'm a Redskins fan, and while I enjoy watching the Titans, I cannot consider myself a Titans fan. A long time ago I chose one team and one team only, and while I may not be as good a fan as I should during some of the lean years, the sentiment remains.
