I don't hate losing

Really, I don't. Winning is better, of course, but I can watch my team lose and generally take it philosophically.

I have had, after all, my whole life to practice this.

When my team loses, I can look at something besides the final score...the improvement of a young player, a particularly beautiful play...something with hope for the future. That's why I don't hate to lose.

And I may be fiercely loyal to my teams, but I am realistic about what I see. I accept flaws and shortcomings, as long as the players and coaches admit to them too, and try to fix them. I can't hate imperfection. Everyone is imperfect.

But one thing is wearing me down: the noise from the visiting team's fans. Buffalo, New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore...it isn't the cheering so much as the taunting and the derision, the in-your-face obnoxiousness.

That, I hate.
