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?

      Yup, and you get maybe one switch per lifetime, otherwise you're just a bandwagoner.

      If your team sucks, you figure out a way to have fun with it, you follow less, or you watch other teams without stooping so low as to claim they're now yours.
