Spell it out.
What value do you specifically place on hoping skills when you value a fellow human.
If they hope scrupulously for things that never happen, are they a failed hoper? A failed person?
If they set hope to the side and try to focus on things that can actually alter a particular situation, are they an apostate hoper? An apostate person?
If they keep their hopes to themselves instead of shouting them from the rooftops, are they a failed evangalist for hope? A failed person?
Say what you are hinting at.
Also, setting aside the issue of the particular situation of a Chiefs game. When things are tense and beyond people's control, is your impulse there as well to single out and denounce those who aren't hoping hard enough, or do you give people grace for the tenseness of the situation and focus on positivity?
And even here, I'm not saying one perspective or another is the only viable perspective. Be as hopeful or prayerful or fatalistic or sullen as you like and as fits your personal nature. It's just that I'm going to point it out if YOU DO denounce the ways other people deal with adversity out of their control. And that is a criticism of your tactics, not the situation beyond people's control at the heart of the dynamic.
