A buddy and I are in a debate about home teams. He stands by it that one's allegiance should ultimately be to their home team because sports are about the sense of community and belonging that they bring. He says that the emotional connection one has with their home team will always be greater than a team far away because it's a part of your roots and it's all around you. I completely disagree with this because I actively dislike some of my home teams and support teams half way across the country. I think my home teams are extremely annoying (especially when they're winning) and they have the most aggravating fans. How do yall feel about this?
Since its just a game, it's weird for me to be so invested in it that you decide you're a fan of a team halfway across the country instead of the one in your community
edit: but also on that note, caring about any of this is also weird
