And this is why I stopped getting so invested in hometown teams. I still love sports, but I've drifted away from passionately supporting the home teams. I root for them, but I don't live and die by them. When my cousin and I were at All Stars at the ground level of his condo with all the other supporters and TFC lost the final in 2016 despite not allowing Seattle a single SOG in 120 minutes, I think it was then and there that I said nope, not doing this anymore. When the Raps had their run, I watched very little of it live. Just checking the final score and if they won, I'd watch the highlights.
Got the Leafs disappointing year after year and the Jays blowing an 8-1 lead. Disappointing but not heart breaking for me anymore.
Anyway, I was posting this summer about the Leafs still having '22 Playoffs banners hanging up long after they were bounced. For all I know, they might still be hanging by the lobby of the ACC, but they did at least change them on the outside to Insigne banners.
Then we have this today at Longos, next to the ACC. Hmmm... wonder how long that message is going to stay up.
