It must be very lucky for the lucky guy who supported the right teams in 2009. It’s finally logically possible in that year. It came at the right time. Perhaps it’s due to miracle that everything wonderful became possible.
There is a Basque-descent person in my mind. He lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and works as a staffer in the local state council. He is soft-spoken, and is a man of a few words, but he’s rather insightful. He happens to choose a few teams that he wholeheartedly supports while he slogs everybody for his daily grind.
He happens to cherry-pick the teams with the same values as he does, while linking them to his identities. Hence, he supports Barcelona C.F, Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Lakers (headed by the former Philadelphian Kobe Bryant and the Spanish center Pau Gasol).
Indeed, the Phillies won the 2008 World Series. Then the Steelers stormed through Super Bowl XLIII and hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup followed by the Lakers winning the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. But the highlight goes to Barcelona C.F. They won every soccer title that we ever know --- the Spain title, UEFA Champions League and eventually, the FIFA Club World Cup. Barcelona had won everything they could. At the same time, that guy rightfully accepted Spain and cheered it to victory when the time came for Spain to win the 2008 European Cup and 2010 World Cup…
As a casual tennis fan, he cheered Rafael Nadal to World dominance. He is also proud of Fernando Alonso’s victories in F1. Spain also sometimes upended the United States in basketball, but as the United States (that guy’s adopted country) won the 2008 Olympics gold medal, he’s also ok.
How lucky is this guy. But he chose to keep quiet because he knows the price of outward success --- very much like me --- criticism for being a band Wagoner. He earned it and doesn’t deserve this, so it’s good he kept quiet.
