How about this, it doesn’t actually matter, nobody actually cares and it doesn’t actually mean anything. Root for who you want to, when you want to and don’t care what others think about it. Rules for life.

@@einundsiebenziger5488 I am not sure how your definition of the 90's is but mine is 1990 -1999. if one came up to me and said i been a Browns fan since the 90's I am thinking huh so you were a fan of the Ravens franchise ? Especially when armed with the knowledge of this person not being from the Cleveland area. Now fandom is as it is and all are welcome for whatever reason you want to have as I share my favorite team with texans and OK people who love baker to Old school NE Ohioans like myself who been following the browns since Brian Sipe and Mike Pruit and Ozzie Newsome but I think it very interesting that a person from Scotland is a Fan of the Browns since the 90's since for four years there was no browns.

@inigorodriguez8299 3 года назад

@WorldFlex Nope, it’s not a matter of semantics. If I just like a team I don’t routinely watch their games nor invest time in knowing their full roster, the moves they make, who they hire, etc etc. If they win a game, I’m happy for them; if they lose, I’m not bothered in the slightest. That’s it.

@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687 3 года назад

No, you don't have to support a team if you don't want to. I left the Chicago Bears this last season and I'm never going back. The key difference is that you cannot go back when they do well. Regardless of whether the Bears do well or don't, I'll never be a fan of them in this lifetime. I show my love for Chicago through my love of the Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox. That's good enough.

TJ represents the new generation that can like a team regardless of geographical origin. It's very common in e-sports to be more attached to players than orgs, and those of those who come to Sports from esports are less inclined to adopt a home team just because.

@alexforst8171 3 года назад

I'm not saying you can't like a team just because of a player, that's valid but I think you're not giving geographic based fans the credit they deserve. Where you grow up shapes you more than you may think, people don't follow teams geographically 'just because' imo

I'd say it's nice to have one of your teams be local. You can go to the games and you feel more connected to the fan base. I live in NorCal and am a Sharks fan. But my baseball team is the Angels because my dad is from down south, and I am a Jets fan for football. I liked green when I was little. Lol

There's something enjoyable about going against the grain when eveyone around you are rabid fans of the local team. As long as you stay consistent.

@Angel-bo7mh 3 года назад

@@matthewdennis1739 I feel. Everyone here is a Niners or raiders fan. I don't buy the hype lmaoo every time I try to root for the Niners with everyone else I'm just like "this is dumb"

@matthewdennis1739 3 года назад

@@Angel-bo7mh Yeah, everyone here are rabid Steelers fans, I just couldn't do it. I was already a Red Sox and Celtics fan so I decided I was going to be a Boston fan across the board. It gave me a chance to root for someone else while still being consistent.

My home state is Kansas. We have no pro teams. We borrow from either Missouri or Colorado. Haven't lived there since 84. Got married nd inherited Boston sports because of my in-laws. Red Sox, Bruins, celtics, and PATS. Just lucky I guess. :)

I live in KCMO, have enjoyed certain years of the Chiefs but have never been a real fan. Became a fan of the Patriots in 1992 and have remained there ever since. When Tom moved teams to Tampa I followed tom and will continue to support the Bucs and the Patriots. I live in KCMO, have no plans to become a Chiefs fan.

Of course it's mandatory... Except if your town has multiple teams in the same city... I'm for every Chicago team, except the Cubs

@robertweir8658 3 года назад

I'm from Indiana and don't support any team in the state. I only follow three teams. The Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Pistons and the Duke Blue Devils. I watch college football but don't have a favorite team.

@mathewfullerton8577 3 года назад

I'm from eastern Iowa. Where I grew up, you were a Bears fan or a Packers fan (a few weird Vikings fans, not many), a Cubs fan or a Cards fan. The NBA wasn't big yet, so nobody really cared. Blackhawks in hockey. University of Iowa Hawkeyes for college. I became a Utah Jazz fan because I moved to the intermountain west (Idaho, Wyoming and Utah) when Bobby Hansen, a Hawkeye legend, was drafted by the Jazz. Before that I rooted for a player, Julius Erving. I am back in Iowa and rooting for the same teams. Never changed in my travels.

@marke2452 3 года назад

Why show blind loyalty to a professional sports team that has no such loyalty to you? Ask Baltimore Colts fans. Ask Houston Oilers fans. Oakland Raiders? Then there are those teams that have no real interest in ever winning, because they know their fan support is locked in. I should root for the Bengals or Lions simply because I was born or lived in those cities? There can be many different reasons why we fall in love with, and root for a team. All of them are valid except one. You can never fall in love with a team just because they're winning. That is not true love, that is lust.

I have teams from all over the country. My favorite teams are the Lakers, Dodgers, and Rams (I currently live in LA, but didn't always). But my favorite team is the Avalanche. My favorite NCAAM and W teams are my alma mater. But my college football team sucks, so since I lived in Ohio for a while, I'm a Bucks fan. I lived in Dallas for a while. I love the Mavs, but hate the Cowboys and am ambivalent toward the Stars and Rangers. I lived in Cleveland for a while and I still follow the Browns, Tribe, and Cavs fairly closely. IT's about the journey.

@ko9655 3 года назад

Packers, Stars, Heat, Longhorns, Rangers. From TX, wasn't "allowed" to be a Cowboys fan (didn't really want to be anyway); Shaq fan who went with him when he was traded to South Beach & stayed for D-Wade.

I came to Colorado in 7th grade. Everyone here wore that stupid Orange and rooted for Elway. I couldn't stand it, fortunately the 49ers won the SB and I've been die hard since, which was tough when a few years later the Donkeys went back to back. I slowly picked up all the other Denver/Colorado teams as I grew into loving the other sports.

@bendedmiracle 3 года назад

As an european,the ease americans switch teams baffles me. It is common for a smalltown person to root for a succesfull big town team. But you stay with that team for the rest of your life. Most people support the local team though....forever...win or lose. I'm talking football(soccer).
