I didn't get this. I'll explain myself though..
I used to think I'm the biggest Juve fan out there and that no one loves this team more than me and it was a normal thing, boys pass through this phase, thankfully, I don't think this way anymore because one sees things differently with time.
What some here are trying to make me and Hoori look like was something I'd pull 5 years ago maybe.
I've honestly had enough of the, "Will you support Juve after Del Piero retires and the no player is bigger than Club" I've been reading this since 2004 and it sickens me to the point I smile when I see members posting this numerously.
I don't get your point here.
So you're saying you've "matured" beyond supporting a club above all else to... supporting a player above all else? And you think that somehow gives you a vantage to condescend those that still believe a club comes before any player and aren't afraid to say it (via the implication that they're childish)?
That seems off, to say the least.
I don't think people ask you about supporting Juventus after so and so retires because they're trying to prove themselves as greater fans to you or anyone else reading, but more so, because it's a bit shocking that someone would cease to be a fan after a number of years (in your case, I see you joined this
Juventus forum in 2003 and presumably followed for at least a little while prior) and give it up just like that because a single cog in the wheel, regardless of its importance, has departed. Loving a player is one thing, but you'd have to think, after all this time, that some sort of attachment to and affection for the club itself would have developed.
If you can watch Juventus for, say, ten years every weekend and bail out now, hands clean, that makes
me smile. In disgust.
