I hate the Ravens, too. However, the best defense I heard from one Ravens fan was that they turned on Washington during the Steve Spurrier era cause they hated Snyder. Now, I don't think it's okay to sell your favorite team out just cause some new one comes around, but Snyder pushing people away from the Skins is something I can certainly understand. He's done it to me a little bit.

Anyway, I have adopted the Saints as a favorite team of mine because I lived in New Orleans. Now, I am still WAY more of a Skins fan than Saints, but I'm pulling for them a lot more recently. I was choked up when they reopened the dome.

Also, my parents moved to South Carolina last year. It just made me hate the Panthers about 10x more than I already did. The only difference now is that I like Steve Smith. I hate Jake Delhomme so much more now that I've seen his inconsistent ass play.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: I don't see how anyone can turn on a team they've grown up loving. I couldn't make the Skins even my second favorite team if my life depended on it. I'm not saying they weren't real fans before, cause I can understand Snyder pushing people away, but it's not something I could ever do.
