It's like a lost cause and you keep blaming it on homerism. But you're not being any less of a homer because you understand that your team did something very wrong, got caught, and got punished for it.

I don't understand how the Saints fans can say its them against the world. I'm not saying don't support your team. I would rally behind the Falcons and believe everything will be alright as well but I can understand when something is right or wrong.

My response: "Hey we did something wrong and against the rules, then was given a warning and at that point we kept doing it and covering it up. So we got what we deserve. But I believe my team will be able to move on and conquer this. Go Falcons"

It's still homeristic while being realistic about what happened. Don't really see the difficulty in this attitude that NONE of the Saints fans I have encountered has displayed.
