[QUOTE="-Halftime-"][QUOTE="Spellingiscool"] So pick one city and roll with it. Representing two cities so you have more of a chance to pick a good team? That's weak. Sorry you're a bandwagon fanSpellingiscool
:lol; I'm not gonna get into fandom. You don't know me, don't act like you do. I was a fan when the Lakers were terrible AND the Phillies were bad. And LA doesn't have a professional football team. I was raised a Laker fan by both parents and became a fan of the Eagles because I liked Donovan McNabb when I got into professional football. I didn't come to love baseball until about 2003 when I began to follow the Phillies, who didn't make the playoffs that year. I don't "represent" two cities. I have ONE favorite team in each sport. Furthermore, where you live has nothing to do with fandom. There are fairweather fans that support their home teams, too. People that don't care when the team is bad but the jerseys are flying off the shelves when they get good. Good try though I don't want to know you. I just know you're a bandwagon fan that's all. Where you live has nothing to do with fandom? That's false. If you're born in Cleveland, sorry you should be stuck with the Browns and Cavaliers. There's no jumping ship to the Lakers just because they suck, although I'm aware it happens everywhere. A lot of bandwagon fans on this board, namely Jaysonguy and you. It's okay though, as long as you are aware of it. Hahahahahahaha You don't know a thing about me. That's the funny thing. keep making assumptions though. I'm from LA. We HAVE no professional football team. I didn't even like baseball till I got to Pennsylvania, which is when I started following the Phillies.
By your ass backwards logic, a so called "fan" in Pittsburgh that was nowhere to be found when the Penguins were bad, all of a sudden they win the Stanley Cup and are contenders and all of a sudden that person is fully supporting the team. Is that pathetic excuse more of a fan, then say, a Pens fan in California who watched every game whether they won or lost and was there for the good AND Bad times. Sounds to me like the bandwagoner would be the one in the pittsburgh and the true fan would be the guy in Cali that was supporting the team for years before that championship season.
Another example, this one non hypothetical. I have two close friends, one a Denver Broncos fan, one a Green Bay Packers fan. Neither of these friends live in Denver, or Green Bay. But they've each been following the teams since they were small kids and continue to do so. Where do they live? Pittsburgh. Have they ever jumped ship to the Steelers when they're doing good. Hell no. I'd call them bandwagoners if they jumped on the Steelers. There's nothing wrong with them liking the teams they do.
You don't have to be from anywhere specific to like your favorite team. As long as you are passionate, stick through the good and the bad, don't jump ship, hurt when they lose and feel that high when they win, you're a real fan. Most people hate the places they grow up anyway. But then again, you're the supreme authority of what team a specific person should follow. Cool elitism, mang.
