Once again no multi-quote thingy... really need to learn that trick.

Wins really don't matter regarding team bashing. What matters is how well the team being bashed appears to do. To continue using a sports analog, but changing sports to hockey because it is awesome and I don't know spit about football, look at the red wings. They are the single most hated (and loved) team in the NHL, but they only have 11 Stanley cups. Compare that to Montreal which has 24. The difference is that the wings have made the playoffs for what 23 seasons straight and are always at the top of the league.

Blue banners don't breed contempt. Not getting a shot at it when others almost always have a shot at it does. This is another reason that districts are good, more blue banners + semi-same number of events per team = more shots.
