BUT IF THE REASON YOU LIKE A TEAM IS BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD OR HAVE BEEN GOOD THEN YOU DESERVE A THOUSAND LIT CIGAREETES TO THE GROIN. IT IS TOTALLY PATHETIC TO RALLY BEHIND A WINNER ONLY BECAUSE THEY WIN.

I couldnt disagree more. I like Duke because of tradition, and their head coach. Now it's completley different if I were to say after they won a national championship the next day I'm a fan. But you dont need a reason to be a fan of a football team. I became a Redskins fan the year they won the Super Bowl in 1991 when I was 6 years old, do I deserve 1,000 cigarettes to the groin? Common. Some people dont live in sports towns like DC, where they can grow up watching all these pro sports teams, and need to find national teams to root for, sorry. There is no right or wrong reaosn to be a fan of a team. But I think theres a huge difference between being a bandwagoner and liking a team who has been good because of the tradition and they are fun to watch. Shit the only team I have that I have a "reason" like yours for is the Stl Carindals cause I was lucky enough to go to a game when I was young. I just think some people dont understand how some peopl eneed to pick teams if they arent really in a sports market.
