Now they have a team back, they can call their own of course they are going to jump ship. In Charlotte, people here were Redskin's fans, when the Panthers came in, they adopted them as their own. You can't blame them for jumping ship. I personally can't stand the panthers, but when you are from the area and you get a team, you can't blame people for pulling for their team.

the fact is, there are a ton of bandwagoners out there, always will be. you, me, nobody can do anything about those people. Look at it this way, when the Skins start winning on a consistant basis, we will have some more skins jerseys floating around.

As far and the geographical thing.. I have always been and SF Giants fan, and I have never even been to SF. So, am I not suppose to root for the Giants? People sometimes just latch onto a franchise and there really isn't any explination for it.

I am from Gettysburg PA, and I can assure that if Gburg were to be given an NFL team they would at best be my second favorite team. If you jump ship to a new team just because they are closer to you you were never a real fan to begin with.
