On Saturday night, I learned a lot about my own Rapids fandom, and the nature of fandom in general. You see, I spend quite a bit of time thinking about what it means to not just be a fan, but to be a supporter of a team. I root for some teams that have provided their fair share of heartbreaks, and unfortunately, it takes little effort to revisit the pain of near wins and gutting losses.
I would add the Colorado Rapids loss on Saturday to Real Salt Lake to that horrible list.
