Where is the pride? Is it just a checkbook?

If you take that senario and win with it, do you feel like a winner? If you do, i'm happy for you and to each his own. I guess i'm just old school, but i see that as a fan with a check book or a sugar daddy. It tickles me to watch sports on tv and see the fans screaming for their team to win. They feel, that they are a winner if their team wins! When they did'nt throw the ball, catch the ball, hit the ball, etc, nothing, notta, no effort at all, just watch! How can you be a winner, if all you do is watch what somebody else did to win! "the glory belongs to the man in the arena". Now i know there are many out there that would say it's a team thing. I respect that, and agree somewhat, (being a retired career firefighter) and know the importance of the team concept. In the big game, if i'm on the bench or in the dugout all game and the team wins....i'm a winner.....but i sure don't feel like one! (my opinion only) where has the pride of building your own car gone?
