And that’s the game.
The crowd momentarily loses control.
The air is saturated with hugs, laughs,
high-fives and chest bumps.
Bandwagon fans camouflage themselves
among the die-hard supporters.
They reap the benefits of loyalty
yet initially declined to put in any of the work.
“We don’t associate ourselves with losers” is their core chant.
They parallel their own success to the success of others.
These unscrupulous spectators take credit and glory in the toils
of those who reached the summit while they slept.
The bandwagon brigade is front and center
to hitch a ride on the way down.
No room? No problem.
A coattail will do just fine.
Don’t count on seeing them next season.
Their allegiance is short lived.
If you’re no longer on top, you’re no longer their concern.
No comfort is offered to fallen heroes; they’ll already be on to the next one.
