Family.. and grew up in the DC area.. I'm big on hometown teams and extremely loyal, which is why I like the Nationals existing, but I'm an Orioles fan because that's who was around when I grew up

I remember one day when I was 3 and we had a family friend over that was an Eagles fan and he said that the eagles were his favorite team.. for whatever reason I said they were mine too, I guess trying to fit in

edit: (I was a skins fan already, but I was 3)

my family literally had an intervention and later that afternoon we had a "Redskins Party" at my aunt's house to teach me that I'm a skins fan and how I'm not allowed to like other teams along with the redskins, especially not the eagles or cowboys

my family is crazy, but that's where I get all of this from and I don't have a problem with it

during the 1987 superbowl we were at a superbowl party and I wasn't allowed into the adult room... I sat there bored for hours because I couldn't watch football, didn't even want to play with the other kids
