Re: Survey of Fan Loyalties: Are You a Displaced Fan?
I don't know what category I'd fall into. Despite never living in or around DC (my folks live in Delaware but moved there after I was in college) I've always been a Redskins (and Hoyas and NY Mets) fan. I grew up in upstate NY where I was surrounded by Bills, Jets, Pats and Giants fans. I went to college in NC (pre-Panthers) so it was a mix of Cowboys and Redskins fans. After college I moved to Atlanta-Falcons stronghold and now live just north of Miami, Dolphin waters.
In spite of all of the ridiculous logic of 'You live here now so you should root for the home team' I've never wavered. My love for the Redskins is the major reason why I have DirecTV, so I can watch them on the Sunday Ticket.
If I relocate again, it will be to the DC region but until then, I remain 'displaced' I guess.
