Being a Jets and Mets fan is not about being popular or happy. It takes a special person to continually get kicked in the nuts and keep coming back for more. However, there is something to be said for loyalty and it does generate some excellent gallows and black humor. And for me this is part of the allure of being a fan. These teams are always finding new ways to disappoint and test your patience. Out of my office window I can see Citi Field in the distance. I can't wait for some mediocre to awful baseball.
Mets fans are the best in any sport. It's not close, either.
