Basically old farts and those that come after our generation dies out. But wait, what if I were an O's fan living in DC...can I raise I raise my kid as a Os fan or do I have an obligation to make him support the Nats? What would make him a better and more "correct" fan? Or does a family have to be indifferent to the Os and baseball for the child to be an acceptable Nats fan? Would the child now be a poser mudblood, supporting a sport his family has no right to? When can the lineage rightly begin?

Do tell. I couldnt watch my child go through the message board struggles I have faced. I just couldn't.
