thats alot of teams to hate.....I love football, I find myself rooting for random teams whenever I'm watching and that shit hella switches.....well, thats if none of my fav teams are playing (Raiders & Bengals).....I was rooting for the saints before when they had aaron brooks, but mostly because they were division rivals with tampa bay who beat us in the superbowl.....the only team I really hate is the patriots.....I hate tom brady with a passion....I'd disown the raiders and become the 49ers number one fan before I'd wear a patriots anything.....
MY TEAMS I LIKE ARE:RAIDERS-THEY WERE THE ONLY THING I SEEN AROUND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.SO IVE BEEN A RAIDER FAN SINCE 1989
OAKLAND A'S-THEY WERE THE BEST TEAM IN THE 80'S WHEN I STARTED WATCHING BASEBALL.SO I STUCK WITH THEM TILL NOW THAT WAS ABOUT IN 1989 TOO.
SAN JOSE SHARKS-THEYRE A GOOD TEAM THAT ARE ALWAYS SO CLOSE TO WINNING THE STANLEY CUP EVERY YEAR.THEYVE BEEN MY TEAM SINCE LIKE 1995
SACRAMENTO KINGS-THEYVE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH ALOT OF HEART AND HAVE ALOTTA SPEED.THEY WERE THEIR BEST WHEN THEY HAD WEBBER.IVE BEEN A FAN SINCE 1998.THEY ARE ALWAYS CLOSE TO TOO BAD THEY LOST IN THE WESTERN FINALS TO THE LAKERS IN 2002.

Thats the lamest bunch of BULLSHIT i've ever heard.....what now it's not permissable to have a fave team in a different state? hell my wife is a Packers fan and she lives here with me.....does that mean she's not a true fan?......FUCK NO and FUCK OFF, so say this is the year the Cubs make it to the series and win......Does that mean i cant celebrate because i'm in a different state or that i'm not a die hard fan.....FUCK THAT.
ummmm ok......i'm guessing your fave team is either the Rams, Panthers or Eagles.........or do ya just hate the Pats?

good times.
If you would have read my post on the last page you would know that my favorite team is da bears.
patriots are gay for several reasons, mainly, Tom Brady. Knowing that you're not even from the same region makes you even more gay than I suspected. Even the patriots know they are gay, look at the back of a typical patriot fan, they even flaunt their GAYNESS:

Nah, that was a good game. I've hated the Patriots since I was 6 years old in chicago, and it was great watching da bears beat down the Patsies in the superbowl. I have that shit on VHS as a matter of fact.
I read your above post and its Faggotry in the first degree
Yes, he is a flaming homosexual.
I didn't know being heterosexual was a prerequisite to the hall of fame.
Nothing pansy about Rex Grossman. He's struggling, but at least he's not a fag.

Yes b/c fans who fit that profile almost always choose teams with very strong historical or current winning traditions. It's fairweather.
If these out of area fans weren't so drawn to the good or historically good teams and were drawn to all the teams, then I wouldn't feel the way I do.
And above all I feel sorry for those fans, b/c they are truly missing out on the intense emotional experience that is being a fan, and they don't even know it.

Ima die hard Florida State (football) fan, and ive never stepped foot even close to Tallahassee. I becmae a fan when i first saw Charlie Ward play in the in 93 in their bowl game. Does that mean im not a fan of them?
My boy Notes is a Gator/Dolphin fan, and he hasnt spent THAT much time in Florida, only when he was real young.
You have to understand, alot of times, kids become fans through their parents. If a dad watches a bunch of Raiders games, and he lives in Ohio, guess what rubs off? I spent time in Minny and i became a Twins fan. Does that make me less of a fan than anyone else(even though i have been to their games). Im also a Bears fan, becuase i remember listening to a game on the radio in the JCPennys parking lot of Southcenter when i was about 10, and hearing Fridge going in for a TD from the 1 yard line. THAT got me hooked, from just a small memory like that.
I have a co-worker who is from Anahiem and is a HUGE Cowboy fan. Hes never been to Dallas, but he has jerseys, posters and his desktop on his work computer is a big ass star.
Deep rooted fans become who they are becasue of something eye catching or through inhereitence, plain & simple.

The inheritance point is a real good one. That is really the only exception in my opinion of out of area fans. I know people who are fans of teams for that reason, and if I'm living out of Seattle and my kids see my pulling for those teams and they want to be fans too, I'll be thrilled to death.
Points 1,2,4,5 I understand perfectly, but that's precisely why I don't consider those types to be real fans. In order to see an out of area team, you've got to have exposure to that team. You don't get consistent exposure of an out of area team UNLESS THEY ARE GOOD. So by choosing these out of area teams you're basically guaranteeing yourself a winning team to follow. It's cheating, and you really are forfeiting an awful lot of the emotional experience that comes along with watching sports. It's a shortcut to success and the corresponding bragging rights that we enjoy when our teams succeed. Like I said earlier, I really feel sorry for these folks.
With your pulling for Florida State, I also would not consider you to be a die-hard for them b/c I know you love Washington too. You can't be a die-hard fan of two teams in the same sport, it doesn't work that way.

Ok now i see what your saying, but thats not how i went about choosing the Pats......truth of the matter, that super bowl the Pats played against the Rams...prior to kickoff i was rooting for the Rams. At the time i really wasnt into football and i just liked the Rams cause Marshall Faulk was kicking ass that year, anyways when the teams were being announced something happened that caught my attention, after the Rams were introduced 1 by 1 by 1, the Patriots let it be known that they wanted to be introduced not individually but as a team. That really struck me as unique, they could of pulled the same old shit the rams did and be introduced individually 1 by 1, but they said fuck that we're a team. Thats rare in todays sports world with all the inflated ego's and megamillion contracts. I've been rooting for the Patriots ever since then. It's been nice to watching Brady pile onto his HOF credentials year in and year out, i'm glad i could see it and when i started rooting for them at the time all i knew was that Brady was young badass that knocked Bledsoe and his 80 million contract out of town and i knew they had a great defense....there was no way i knew they were gonna become a dynasty. With that out of the way my FAVORITE team in baseball is THE CUBS, they play in Chicago i'm in Texas and i've never been to Illinois....thats the most notorious unsuccessful team out there(ok maybe that belongs to the Devil Rays) but believe me i get plenty of exposure as i suscribe to the baseball package on dish network, i only end up missing about 10 games out of 162....that's alot of exposure.....and the emotions are definitely still there, even out of state......i'm still happy about when they won the division in 2003 and i'm still pissed at steve bartman, and i'm even more pissed at Carlos Beltran, THe Mets, Reds and Astros for knocking the Cubs out of the WildCard picture in 2004. But hey what do i know, my fave teams are out of state so i'm not a real fan right?
