Cardinals Star: "No Real Fans in Arizona"
4 Jul
Summary
- McBride claims most Arizona residents are not native.
- Cardinals have limited playoff success in last decade.
- McBride hopes winning will improve fan loyalty.
Trey McBride, a standout offensive player for the Arizona Cardinals, recently suggested that the team lacks a genuine home-grown fan base. Appearing on a podcast, McBride stated that most individuals in Arizona are not native to the state and continue to support their original NFL teams. This perspective stems partly from the Cardinals' recent performance, which has seen them reach the playoffs only once in the last ten seasons. Their two playoff victories during this period were both against the Green Bay Packers. McBride, who has recorded impressive statistics over the past two seasons, expressed his desire for the team to start winning games. He believes that improved on-field success is crucial for attracting and retaining dedicated fans in the region. The Cardinals are also facing uncertainty regarding their quarterback situation, with Jacoby Brissett seeking a contract restructure. Additionally, owner Michael Bidwell recently fulfilled a wedding wish for a bride in New Jersey.
