This is true, such is sport! Losing is what makes winning it all so damned fantastic! When Baltimore Ravens lost to the Patriots in the AFC Conference Game in 2012, that shit was one of the saddest sports' days of my life. Made getting that Superbowl the next year soooooo much better. USMNT loses big every WC and got clowned here in LA in the 2011 Gold Cup. Made winning it all this past summer so much more vindicating. Dodgers just lost in the NLCS to the Cardinals. Is it a great experience? Not necessarily. Is it sport? Couldn't have it any other way, cities and franchises and fans have to collectively lose, its called bonding
