lol what idiot on here said I can only root for teams in my own state?
 

fucking stupid

Lol, I've lived in California and North Carolina. I'm in California now so does that mean I can't be a fan of UNC or the Carolina Panthers anymore?

Personally I think its pretty dumb if you live in say New York and are a fan of Florida Marlins or something...Unless you have a reason (like your father was a fan so you became one, originally you where from FL etc)

search function, sir

Lol..people are like that with football clubs here in england..though im in london and support newcastle who are way up north, couldnt careless.

i like new york yankees sometimes the red sox, DETROIT BASKETBALL, the cowboys, Duke basketball and USC football

I honestly don't understand how people could root for a different team over their hometown team - and by hometown I mean the place where you grew up, not just where you live currently. It makes no sense to me what so ever, I don't even see how it is possible

It's ALWAYS casual fans. People who maybe catch one game a year. They like a different team just because their hometown team isn't the number one team in the league. Or because the jaguars logo is "really cool".

WEll in all fairness I grew up without a baseball team pretty much, closest was the Orioles which was way too far to go to more than 1 game a year. So we got the Nationals but I was already a Mets fan cause my dad lived in Queens all his life and decided to move to Virginia for some reason

Saw like a zillion Twins fans at the Orioles game today though ironikally

Another reason fans might root for a team from another state is that their local guy is playing for a pro or college team in that location.

Very true, I liked the Texans because David Carr was playing for them. Now conveniently, he is with a team that I already liked.

:y:

Although I will say if there was a Syracuse NFL team I would root for them. But I don't think I should be forced to root for the Jets or the Giants....or the Bills

I pull for alot of team because of local players.. Like, I am a huge McNair fan..

:dunno:

I am a fan of a great game as opposed to a team. Especially NFL. We get a lot of Seahawks coverage but I'd rather watch a good game than cheer for a shitty team. Love watching the Colts play but if Manning played for somebody else I probably would watch his team.

As for hockey, I cannot see myself being anythign but a Canucks and Team Canada fan.

Im a diehard Cowboys fan and I live close to L.A.. I started rooting for them in the '92 season when i was like 10 yrs old and they won a superbowl. So what's the big deal?

You should like this guy then for the Lions, Stephen Peterman, he went to Louisiana State. Doesn't he look sauve?!

I root for the Colts, Pacers and Cubs. Cubs are in Chicago, but being born in Indiana, its either the Reds or the Cubs pretty much. I tried to go through a phase where i swore up and down i was an Cleveland Indians fan, but it just wasnt true. Its always been the Cubbies.
