Disaster struck for Harry Smith as he found out that he actually won the vice-president position for his local supporters’ group.
What have I done?!
“I didn’t think I would actually win and I really am questioning if I even want to serve anymore,” stated Smith to The Nutmeg News.
Smith stated that he originally thought that running for the supporters group council would allow him to help out, become more involved and share his passion with his fellow fans, but after talking to a number of former council members he realized that he was signing up for all of the behind the scenes drudgery, machinations, and political maneuvering that has all the potential to cause him to fall out of love with his team and fellow fans.
“I put my name in, but … well… despite my misgivings I HAVE to accept now,” stated Smith. “I see these people every single week. I can’t just blow them off.”
Smith, who has a popular online social presence, said that he didn’t understand how he won until he checked the voting numbers and realize that he won after only 120 people voted in the election.
For all his misgivings, Smith stated that he will serve out his two year term and said that he hopes that he will still be friends with everyone when this ends.
“I only hope that I can make it through all this with my love of this team and my friends intact. This whole thing started with the best of intentions, but I just checked my inbox and holy shit… .what a disaster. I honestly don’t think that I really want to know how the sausage is made anymore.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Smith gets attacked for being a mouthpiece of the supporters group on Twitter.
