A realist would wait for a loss before saying we lost..
They would wait for the sky to fall before declaring the sky is falling.
Why? Because at that point it would be real and not just a feeling or opinion.
So people can try and mince words to try and make themselves feel better..
When what is "real" is that they are crybabies and need to go away as they make the rest of us trying to support the team we love..look bad.
