It depends what you mean by "bailing on the team".
I will never stop following this organization. I will read the news articles and check the scores. I'll browse the message boards. I'll keep up to date on trades and signings. The Oilers are just too ingrained as a part of my connection to the city I grew up in and will always call home. It's a part of my identity.
But that identity is changing. For 30 years, an Oilers game got my undivided attention. It was not unlike going to church. "Keep the kids upstairs, honey, the Oilers are playing." And on any given night, whether we won or lost, there was still a reason to look forward to the next game, and it still felt good to wear any piece of clothing that had the logo on it. Even in recent years as we've been wallowing at the bottom of the standings, that loyalty and hope never really waned too much.
This year, for the first time I can remember, I've almost entirely stopped watching the games. I don't buy the teeshirts and ball caps anymore. I don't get as happy after a win, or as upset after a loss. It's not like I'm actively boycotting the organization, I've just stopped caring the way I used to.
I've always believed a sporting franchise survives by selling hope. When that's no longer part of the package, the fans don't "bail" so much as they just lose interest. And that's where I'm at, finally, this season. It's been a long time building, but it's finally happened.
And so when game day rolls around, I just find I have other things I'd rather be doing. And I can't remember ever saying that.
