I'm going to cut to the chase here....How much Spurs spirit is, well...too much?
I'm on my way to work today, and I see a car decked out with Spurs flags, and shoe polish that reads "4 for 4...Champs". True statement. The Spurs are the reigning champs, and they have 4 titles.
But October 4th? Flying the flags? I think fans should go by the team's rules. Celebrate the title, enjoy the summer--even into early "fall". But once training camp starts, shouldn't fans take down the flags, and wash off the shoe polish? I mean, gosh..its not even a (preseason) gameday.
I can hear you...WE'RE THE CHAMPS. We'll celebrate until the Spurs are no longer considered champions. Technically, that's true. But its not like have the spirit items are permanent. At least, I hope not. Although, some of you Spurs fans have probably considered spray painting your car on title night. Either way, don't the car and house decorations come down once the new season begins? Tshirts, hats, coffee mugs--those are completely different. Afterall, if you pay $30 for a tshirt, you should be able to get your money's worth. But shoe polish? In October?!
And one more thing...its one thing to fly the '07 car flags. But isn't there an expiration date on the 1999 flags?
