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?
I dunno, even after we got a team close enough to count as home, my choices have always been arbitrary . Mind you, I don’t really get into team sports, but it’s always fun to have a team for casual conversation.
When I was a kid, it was the Jets, the Eagles, the Vikings or the Bengals, depending on the year and my mood. For us football, obviously. All based on their uniforms or logos. As an adult, it’s the Ravens. I just like their logo better.
Celtics for basketball, just because I liked Larry Bird back in the day.
Hockey, it’s the Rangers for no reason other than the name sticks in my head
Football/soccer, it’s Arsenal. Because it’s easy to remember.
Baseball, I tend to go with whatever Sox team pops in my head, or the Dodgers.
Past that, I couldn’t name a team for other sports tbh
