Like every other Queenslander, I would like to talk about our sporting achievements of the past couple of weeks. I say “our” sporting achievements because as a big fan of the Lions and an even bigger fan of the Broncos, their recent premiership successes are partially thanks to me.
Sure, I might not play, I might not coach, I might not be involved whatsoever at all in any single way – but I still feel entitled to some credit. Since I was little, I have supported the Brisbane Broncos. For decades I have watched the games, pouring my precious and powerful energy into them. I have cheered their wins, been sad at their losses, and decried and abused countless referees with terrible decision-making skills and presumably personal vendettas against me.
