Fans Should Not Get Championship Rings [View all]

Am I wrong for feeling that fans should not be allowed to buy championship rings? There is a part of me that feels allowing fans to buy rings cheapens the rings. I figure the players who get the rings feel the exact opposite of how I feel. However, I feel you should not be able to sit on your couch all year and then go buy a ring if you have enough money. That takes away from the exclusiveness. If anyone can buy a ring just because they have enough money then the ring is not exclusive. A championship ring should not be something you can buy. You should have to play a role in that organization winning that ring in order to get a ring. So, I also feel it is unfair that fans can buy championship rings. You should have to do something that helps the team win in order to get a ring. I realize that an argument can be made that fans do help teams win so, the fans should be allowed to buy rings.
