Underdogs... and why they are fun!

I have a general preference for underdogs.  I can't say for sure why, but I can make up a few good reasons... caps_pens01

  • What fun is it to cheer for the team that always wins?  There isn't any suspense.  When you cheer for the underdog, the outcome is in doubt... it also makes the wins sweeter!
  • I guess I have a hero complex.  I didn't like to see kids getting bullied on the playground as a kid, and I would rather throw my support to the "bullied" than to the "bully".
  • Often the favorite isn't the best... just the most popular.  It isn't just true in sports, but in politics and many other areas. 

There are a LOT of great underdogs to cheer for.  Some are just for fun, others are more serious. 

Look for my list of the Top Ten Underdogs coming up before New Year's Eve... on LaneBailey.com

I will provide the exact link when I put up the post...

I love underdogs!  Sometimes I just like going against the grain.  If we're watching a football game and the whole bar is decked out in black and yellow, then I'm the one cheering for the red and blue!  Why not?

I am a underdog girl myself!  I love to step in and make a positive difference for someone.  I love to make something happen when everyone else it cannot.  I love the challenge.

Lane, I think this is important in many respects. Most often the time, I see people abuse a competition system which means the winner might not be the real winner.

Jenn - I think it is more sporting. 

Valerie - It is often a challenge...

Huiting - Often the popular choice isn't right... that is why we play the games...
