Let’s say someone’s family was in the army, so they moved around a lot from birth, and they didn’t really have a ‘home,’ but they’re into sports—how do they choose their favorite team? Do they just decide to hold off until they move somewhere permanently, and then choose that city’s team as theirs?
People support teams for all manner of reasons. Hometown is one of them, sure, but you don’t have to live somewhere to support a team there.
I’ve known plenty of people who supported distant teams because they visited once and liked it, because one of their parents support them, or even just because they like the uniform colours or the mascot.
I follow the New Orleans Saints and I’ve never been there.
Who dat?
Who dat! ⚜️
Ugh, I was working at academy in Louisiana when they were in the Superbowl. The entire week leading up to it, management had like 6 different versions of the Who Dat song on a loop.
It was torture.
