In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't make any difference, no. If you want to go deeper down that existential rabbit hole, sports are not of any real consequence at all and just serve as a distraction from more important things. But since we're on a sports site, I think we've all experienced both sides of the glory and shame associated with being a fan.
Most of my family and extended family are football fans but I'm the only Spurs. Over the years I've had the piss taken out of me ruthlessly because Spurs naturally give them a ton of ammunition. The Arsenal fans are the worst, but generally Spurs are probably one of the 3 or 4 most hated teams in the UK so we get a ton of stick from other fans too, the media (particularly Sky) hate us as well. From people I know it's usually good humoured bantering, but because I'm borderline autistic (asperger's syndrome) I have a difficult time perceiving it correctly and take it personally. In that regard, it's my own oversensitivity at fault, not others.
So basically it just means I'll get a lot of ribbing for a few months. Some people are really good at rolling with that, but I'm honestly not, that's the difference from my perspective. Sorry if I misinterpreted your post at all, that was a bit of a garbled response but I'm a well of emotions right now.
