Except teams that cheat still have tons of fans.

  Sure, but the key is how they think about the cheating part. A sports fan will on average kind of vaguely deny it, but if real proof comes out it just becomes something they don't talk about or they'll pass blame around as much as possible. A lawyer will deny, deny, deny in every permutation of possible ways. A zealot will both deny and say the enemy deserved it and is worse.

    I think the argument is that many sports fans are zealots. It's not like deflategate made anybody in new england like brady less.

      Or perhaps some zealots are also sports fans and transfer their default behaviour onto anything they do
