Friends: standers or runners

Friends: standers or runners
Mar 1, '10 9:27 AMfor everyone
Let me share this blog post I have written for Purefood Fans Home. This also mean that a fan is an absentee/unknown/casual friend that could either be a stander or a runner.
Here it goes:
As a basketball fan, I would like to point out that there are two types of Fans: the RUNNERS and the STANDERS. Check it out.
Some (if not most of ) of the purefoods fans estivated after the 2006 AFC trophy and point a finger to the briliant, good-looking young coach. Questions about his coaching abilities arise, indecisions on trading players, highly sticking on a play for Kerby and James only, his relation to Gov. Pardo why he still remain as coach even after the team's lousy performance in the succeeding years! Can we really call these people fans/supporters? or mere critics? They are pointing out that criticisms were made to let the mangement know how they feel and change might be made! Hell of comments in forums and various sites. Now that PF is in the Finals, lots of them claim that they are PF fans! Funny and it seems awkward..These are what you call RUNNER FANS, they're there when there's victory and abandoning the team when in peril.
Kudos to those fans who almost lost their voices cheering, spend money for the tarpauline, shed a tear for losses, bowed heads in prayer, jump for joy in triumph and a heart full of belief in the Giants! They who ran into trouble or debate protecting/supporting the players, the coaches, and the management. They who all these years have been loyal fans. They are the STANDER FANS who will stick to the team no matter the circumstances are, whether they're near or far, absent in the venue or present all the time, whether their voices can be heard or not. Though maybe disappointed at times but they can be relied upon through their support. MABUHAY mga kaparokya! Job well done!
What kind of a friend are you? A stander who sticks with a friend through thick and thin or a Runner who will leave a friend hanging when in trouble. If we cannot be a good friend or find it difficult to find one, we have a friend in Jesus!
