Ridiculous, and poorly-thought out at best. I already spend 300 out of 365 days a year worrying endlessly about Spurs, plus the other sixty-five pleading with the football gods to let us sign someone half-decent for once. That's 'support'. Following a team is a different, altogether more mellow experience. You crack a smile when you see them doing well, and you frown when you see them doing badly. That's really about it. Do I care much that Koln sacked Stale Solbakken? no, not really. Do I care they're selling Podolski? yeah, I feel a bit sad about it. Do I feel as bad as I would if we sold Bale? Hardly.
But when it comes down to it, a match between FC Koln and Spurs, who would I be supporting? I'd be roaring in anger at Modric misplacing a pass or Adebayor missing an open goal the same as I always would. I'd celebrate if we won, like I always would. I'd moan and fall into blackest depressions if we lost, like I always would. That won't really change.
Your narrow, excessively dogmatic view of what constitutes football support is rather mystifying to see. Do you never crack a smile when a small team rushes up to beat the big boys? Never feel a bit of joy at an underdog triumphing? Never a sense of satisfaction at seeing a team run the right way, with the right support, winning something?
If you do, you're as much of a supposed 'disloyal' supporter as I am. If you don't, then you're a rather miserable individual when it comes to the sport you follow.
Football is a game. yes, it is Spurs first and everything else second for all of us. But that 'everything else' part is still there. It's nothing you should ignore completely and blind yourself to, like some sort of bizarre cult in a darkened room paying homage to the statue of Jason Dozzell you shower with ritualistic sacrifices every day. It's a wonderful sport that encompasses the entire world; try looking at it for once.
