Why do fans of bad sports teams always blame the refs?
I’m an NBA fan, and I read various teams’ blogs, especially when my team is playing them in the playoffs. One of the things I always see about the lesser contenders is their fans tend to blame the refs for their team losing. The fans of the better teams tend to blame their players not playing well, or they admit the other team just plain beat their team. They also realize when a bad call went their way, and say, we’re lucky we got that bad call in our favor. But they recognize bad calls happen, and they go both ways. Teams like San Antonio, Boston, LA usually, have some pretty decent fans, who analyze a loss with logic and fairness. But fans of some of these other teams….. my goodness.
They don’t want to face the fact that their team sucks, so they blame the refs!!!

no one likes to think that the team they like is bad. everyone wants to be cheering for a good team, so when a bad team loses, the fans still say its a good team, they just had ‘bad refs’
