That's one of the rough things about professional sports. The fans are often more invested in the outcome of the games than the players. Granted, the players want to do well, but it's just their job and they're already being well-paid. If they play a game and lose, they can take their thousands of dollars game check home and cash it as $100 bills to wipe their tears. The father of the boy in the picture gets to take a sad son home and know that he spent $100+ for an outing that was ultimately a bummer.
Sometimes it works out (the fans of the opposing team are happy right now), but there's always a lot of heartbreak with sports... speaking of which, hey, NFL is starting! Ha ha.
Yep it is just a check cash it an move on. I don't see how people afford it. It costs so much money.
