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?
My brothers and I were competitive growing up, so we all cheered for different football teams and hoped our team would beat our brothers. I liked the Jets because I was impressed by stories of Joe Namath being rebellious
You said “army”, so what about Army? The first local hockey game I took my kids to was a local college vs army.
Realistically there is a lot of sports that are not the majors. Maybe there is a minor league team or a college team you want to cheer for.
Or heck, why does it even have to be local? My kid is big time into soccer and our country’s teams don’t have much history, so he and his teammates cheer for teams from other countries
