how does one start to like a football team from another state?
Posted on June 17th, 2010 by admin
i mean i bleed black and gold. my family has drilled the saints in my head since i was a child. i dont care if the saints never win they will always be my team. how does one start to like another team? how can you not like your hometown football team? i can understand if your state dont have a team then how do you pick?
ohh man. when i read the first sentence to your question… i was like… "cool…. another fan that loves the black and gold like me" and then you said saints lol. i always forget they are black and gold too. but thats ok… as long as you are a true diehard fan of your team… you have my respect. i sadly live in the philly area and my mom is from philly and my dad is from this side of the state too… but his family was originally from pittsburgh… so he grew up a steelers fan and so did i. its only natural to teach your kids to follow the team your family has always followed. its all part of the tradition. i too have wondered how people abandon their hometown team for someone else or how can you be a fan of two teams?! how can you be an eagles fan and a dallas fan!? there is something really wrong w. that picture. im sure that if i didnt have any ties to pitt then i would be an eagles fan… just because thats how it works… you would think!
all i can think of is that i kno alot of ppl around the US became steelrs fans in the 70’s bc they won all those rings… and then there were those people who were displaced but still were pittsburgers at heart and then just those who found them easily to identify with. i guess those are some reasons why ppl dont go w. their hometown team!
brandon, i dont know how you did that to your poor father, but hey…. its always good to hear from another steelers fan… and hopefully your kids will be steelers fans too. i could understand why u could become a steelers fan… they kno how to win!

some kids might like the symbol…or cuz a team is a good… then stay with them for life…otherwise i start to like teams (not as much as my home town) because they either play the style of football i like (defenivse) or i like a few of their players and just want those players to succed so they start to like that team…and then of course if your parents were born in a different state… or you have family from another state.

You find the team that best suits you. I like the Broncos because they are consistant and are one of the only teams in the NFL with no real superstar and who cares about teamwork first. And this is coming from a Wisconsinite

I like the 49ERS because i lived in Cali…but i lived closer to San Diego than San Fran…kids can usually pick different fave teams because they look like there fave baseball team or there soccer team or something (my brother likes the Bengals because they look like the Detroit Tigers)…there are many reasons y people choose there fave teams…by the way…i live in Detroit…and everyone in my family likes a different team…mostly because of sibling rivalry for the kids…

well i know this is going to sound stupid but my dad came from philly so him being a philly fan watches there games. so one day i was in the room he was watching tv in and the eagles were getting beat by the steelers so i rooted for the steelers because it made my dad mad(i was around 6 at the time)and ive been a steelers fan ever since.
