-264 Sometimes you wonder why people are a fan of teams that are way far away from their home town. We should be supporting our local teams, amirite?

not if you live in a state/town with no major sports teams....

Then you just support the closest team I guess. I'm from New Hampshire, so, GO BOSTON!

Or if you lived in a certain place for a really long time and then moved. You can't just switch teams. That's called bandwagoning and it's probably the biggest sin in the sporting world.

so basically you're saying we shouldn't give people the freedom to choose what team they wanna root for? do you know how many fans would just quit watching the sport before they cheered for a team closer to them? Me, for example. If I were to support the football team closest to me, it would be pittsburgh, and i would stop watching football forever before cheering for them.

That's like saying you shouldn't be a fan of a celebrity just because they don't live in your town/state/province/country...:/

Most of what you guys are saying have good reasons to understand why you chose those other teams. I'm talking about when you DONT understand why people chose a far off team.

because when people start paying attention to a sport, they usually pick a team/person that's doing well, which keeps them interested. i don't get what the big deal is if they're sticking to that team and not hopping around to others. one question though. why does it bother you so bad that people are fans of teams that aren't near them?
