And unless your family owns the team or something why do you care so much lol.

as Jerry Seinfeld astutely put it: “you're cheering for the color of the clothes, because if they’re wearing your colors you cheer, but if they play for another team (another color) now you boo them.”

 

sports team allegiance being geographic is wild haha
like my great grandparents happened to settle in New York so they watched New York baseball games

 

There is a segment of the population that cheers for the DALLAS Cowboys, the LOS ANGELES Lakers and the NEW YORK Yankees that @Fucking Dustin can attest to. Those types of people suck lol

there are also people who are bandwagon fans and only cheer for teams when successful, which in a way makes sense. Like... you wouldn’t eat at a bad restaurant and be a fan of it just because it’s in your state, but that’s what people do with sports teams and “real fans” then get offended on a personal level lol

 

Like, I guess it has to do with pride for your city, I guess? But I can’t imagine getting legitimately angry or, if you’re a Dodgers fan, stabbing someone for supporting a different team. Isn’t competition supposed to be fun? You wouldn’t be happy if everyone supported your team

 

There are some AMAZING fan fight videos on YouTube. And I get it, alcohol fuels 99% of those things but still... to get arrested, banned from a stadium, charged with battery or worse, get injured and PAY MONEY to do such things all basically because of strangers playing a game... it’s wild and just another sign of human stupidity

 

And I don’t wanna hear none of you sports people come in here and defend yourselves!!!

 

and act like someone is a traitor for moving to a different city

 

i get it to some extent for European soccer, rugby or cricket where, I believe, the majority of the players are from the area and only ever play for those teams. I remember watching a video with fans / people from those countries and they couldn’t understand trades and free agency of players leaving for other teams and had their minds blown at the idea of a franchise leaving for another city.

It’s still crazy, but I get it if the sport you follow is made of people from the city and only play there vs all US sports that are people from everywhere and rosters change 40-60% every year

 

I find fans of other teams much more tolerable here than soccer fans back home. I remember being in a Barney's Beanery on NFL opening day and the place with packed with jerseys of every team. That would never happen back in England. Too many people would get stabbed

 

well well well the anti-sports crowd is out in full force tonight smdh

 

@Sean Murphy

 

Fuck @Sean Murphy

 

pardon?

 

I live in NY and route for a Wisconsin basketball team so i am i guess on the positive side of this debate lol

 

Imma start leaving concerts and being like, “oh man, we sounded so good.”

 

Love sports but I do find it weird when people refer to the teams they like as “we”

 

Yeah cause they didn’t do shit

 

says a guy who role plays as a canine who blogs smdh
