Homers are suffering from Battered Women's Syndrome. This team kicks the **** out of them, then promises to get better. The homers convince themselves everything is going to be fine, and return to get the **** kicked out of them yet again.
Realists, on the other hand, have become masochists. They no longer have the ability to convince themselves everything is going to be fine, yet, they keep returning for the beatings anyway. Maybe they're not exactly like masochists because masochists tend to get pleasure out of having the **** kicked out of them- realists don't like the way they're treated by this team but never stop coming back.
So, the difference isn't really as great as the metaphorical chasm on this board would suggest.
