My son, a high schooler, is an avid supporter of a professional football club from a small town in rural England.

Unfortunately, their performance declined last season, and they were relegated back to the second division.

Everything changes in an instant when a team is relegated to the second division, from operational revenue to player recruitment.

I asked my son how he felt about supporting a different team, but he firmly refused on the spot.

He emphasized that a true fan sticks with the team, trusting the players and supporting them, especially when times are rough.

He still stays up late to watch the matches, hoping that his team will perform well and get promoted again.
