If we were having winning seasons and competing for championships no one would really care about the stuff w/ the cheerleaders.

I think winning teams speak of culture in terms like " the Patriots way of doing things ", or "you know {team name} would never bring in {player name} it just isn't what they do".

I do agree that winning would cure a lot of the bad culture talk, but when you have over 20+ years of mismanagement, toxic environments, and failed club performance, it takes time (and wins) for players, coaches, and fans to believe that you have changed and are doing things the "right" way.

Good point about the Patriot way. That was all great until Brady left and they had a losing season. Then we heard rumblings of how difficult it is playing under Belichick, how it isn't fun and players are miserable there...lol. They start winning and here comes the Patriot Way stuff again....

Definitely Winning and culture issues go hand in hand. But we have seen winning seasons (not many) under DS, but the underlying rot stays the same.
