You can stop watch paying attention any time you, or any one wants to, not one thing to do with any right.
I follow the Twins because I like baseball; if they a basement dweller, I still listen/watch; if they are a 100 wins game team, I do not follow them any less or more.
If they can or trade a player I like, that has zero to do with frequency I listen to or watch a game.
On another note: I had the "right" to quit paying attention to the Vikings, and I did.😇
