@BleacherReport explains how to #RootRootRoot for the Home Team (@OKCThunder @OKCBlazers @SoccerOklahoma @OCUSpiritSquads @OKC_Sports @ThunderGirls), even when they Lose ... @Lions)

When Microsoft Bing told me about the OKC Thunder's recent 'second-place finish,' I searched to find out how fans persist in cheering for losing teams.

And who knows better than the fans of the Detroit Lions?

That rooting-strategy is explained at the report linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...

The word “Root” (the "Cheer, Support"-sense is American English (originally applied to Baseball) via intermediate sense of Study, Work Hard) is built on ancient words that mean "to |Gnaw" (to Dig out, |Plow up ... related to the plant- (& teeth-, hair-, etc.) sense, which is built on ancient words that mean Branch).
