The NBA Playoffs are going on right now and Orlando is all a buzz because the Orlando Magic is a part of it. Orlando doesn’t have many sports teams so when the Magic does well, the city goes crazy.

On the news though, you will hear from all these fans complaining about how there are so many fair-weather fans who just started watching with the playoffs. That they are not true fans and did not support them in the hard times.

I can see where they come from but it is only a sporting event. It is great to see the city to come together and we should be grateful. It is not like this a friendship we are talking about…

A great friend of mine had season tickets to the Magic for many years. He went to a lot of the games and he always would invite other friends to come along. They were amazing seats and the tickets were not cheap but it was all about fun. My friend just loves to have a good time and this was a great way to support Orlando and be with your friends.

I couldn’t tell you how many people who offered the come along and the many friends who took him up on the offer time and time again. My friend also never asked one person to pay for the ticket which is common with many season ticket holders. He just wanted you to come and have a good time.

My friend decided not to continue you with his season tickets in these tough economic times. A very hard decision I am sure because he loves the games so much but a smart one.

The Orlando Magic are doing amazing this season. Since he let go of his season tickets, many of his friends purchased their own season tickets or now get tickets from other friends or from their companies. They all have the opportunity to bring someone with them.

Not one has called my friend the whole year.

I understand how fans can be hurt with the city isn’t always loyal to the sports team but, I think we all need to be more concerned with out fair weather friends. The ones that are always there for the party but never around when it is time for the clean up.

Friendship is about quality and not quantity.
