I've been a fan of this team since they moved to Arlington from DC, and probably still have a Dr. Pepper Jr. Rangers membership card and Jeff Burroughs signed mini-bat somewhere around here. I have never given up on any team, always having been a "fan for life" person.
That said, I find this team challenging my faith. For the first time in my life, I am considering dumping a franchise from my lineup. One would think that if I can put up with Jerry Jones for this long, I can tolerate anything. Between a mascot that appears to be steeped in racism, to the fucking disaster that is the new stadium, to the complete lack of any discernible plan to improve the product on the field, to a roster that is devoid of role models and likeable personalities...there's nothing here to generate any optimism whatsoever.
Maybe it's the age of COVID making it difficult to find excitement in anything right now, but fuck, this team is beating what little joy I have right out of me.
