Rooting for teams

[cdub21]

Nick Wadden just brought this up and its something that really bugs me. He said i cant root for the red wings because i dont live in detroit... lol dumbest logic ever considering its coming from someone who is an oklahoma fan from toronto. Just a couple weeks ago my friend that goes to Mich St was saying im not a Michigan fan because i dont go there. Whats your thoughts on this?

'i've traveled to 205 road games, spent numerous thousands of dollars on dinners and never missed a game living anywhere from Denver to NYC to Costa Rica... i've spent as much on Nebraska as anyone with a degree so that entitles me to be a fan.'

as for me... i'm a steelers fan... i have absolutely no ties to Pittsburgh. i couldn't give two shits what anybody thinks about it.

also, don't you live in Michigan? what other NHL team are you supposed to root for?

why would you take anything Nick Wadden says as gospel. He is an idiot

Si.

Also, that logic worked years ago along with the "worth the price of admission" cliche. With mass communication as it is, rooting for the hometown team is not a necessity.

The only team I like in the Boston area are the Celtics. The Patriots and Red Sox can go fuck themselves.

Red Sox can go fuck themselves.

I've always hated you, but now I have a legit reason.

I don't watch the NFL much but I'm a Raider fan. I have zero ties to team.

How can you not like the Pats being from Boston? lol so who's your team?

Could not agree more. You are a grown man in a free country and can root for whoever the hell you would like too.

I think you are totally fine. For instance, my buddy gives another one of my buddies shit because he goes to Michigan State, but is a Michigan fan. He says then why do you go here. (Because Michigan is a tough ass school to get into) I think it just shows that he is a true fan and sticks to his team. I think it is bullshit if people think since you go to school there doesn't mean that school has to be the Number 1, and not a bandwagon fan.

problem is that I always seem to say that about sunday, but football on all day always gets me, and with FF playoffs I do not think my eyes will get off the screen

lol yeah but nothing on tomorrow. im just pumped about five guys, basically 70% of my trip right there

[packsyD22]

I root for everything that is Chicago in pro sports because I was raised to root for them with my dad being from there and all.

People give me shit for it out here in La cause i hate the Dodgers and Lakers....kinda sucks not having my team minus USc around but I love my Chicago teams and have zero ties to them.

[Cnasty]

Same idiots that say "you cant root for this school because you didnt go there or graduate from there!"

Root for whoever the fuck you want to, but if you jump teams on who is winning every other year you deserve the criticism.
