Front running fans who root for multiple teams (Edited 07/17/10 02:22AM by Jess)

I like one team in each major sport and I root for them and noone else. Its amusing to me how some people claim to be fans of multiple teams, it doesn't make any sense.

For example I live and die with the Niners, Warriors, and SF Giants. I don't sit here and claim to be a Yankee fan or a Red Sox fan or a Phillies fan or whatever in case the Giants don't have a good year I will have someone to fall back on.

What do you think of people who claim to be fans of multiple teams in the same league?

#20 \| 1036 days ago Jess (+)	(Edited by Jess) I do think it's a little harsh to say that just because you root for two separate teams in a particular sport that you are a bandwagon fan (and not just because I do that in one sport). We all root for teams for a myriad of reasons - however, nearly all of us who are big fans have that one team that is their team. For me, Seattle teams were my home team growing up, so they are my teams (good thing I like college basketball more than the NBA...). However, my dad was a Colts fan, and when I was a little girl growing up, learning everything I knew about football from my dad, naturally I was a Colts fan. Well, when I grew up and took the "home" team as my own, I couldn't just turn my back on the Colts; therefore, they will always hold a place in my heart. As long as they're not playing against the Seahawks, I'll root for them. And, since they're in the AFC, it's not usually an issue to be a "fan" of both teams. As for college, I'm a Washington girl, and I took a few classes through WSU, so I root for WSU teams. Also, I had several friends go to Gonzaga; one played ball for them, so from the time I was in high school I've been a Zags fan. I will say that some people crack me up when you look at their profile and they have all of the most recent championship teams in all sports listed as their favorite teams...that's a little suspect.

I think there is only room in ones heart for one team of one major sport. Me - Huskers, Chiefs, Royals etc.

However, over the years you do tend to admire other teams, whether it be due to geography, history, certain players (like when Roger Craig and Tom Rathman, both former Huskers, played for the niners).

Now I never called the 49'ers my favorite team, but I watched them if they weren't playing when my Chiefs were on, and I hoped they'd do well.

As far as favorite teams on fainq, it seems appropriate to only have one favorite team from each major sport, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone for selecting more than one.

Well they could be like me and didn't grow up around any major teams, so it is easy to just jump on the band wagon. I don't usually pick a team until the finals but then i have my one team i pull for all season.

I have multiple teams that i like in the sports that I watch because i love the sport itself first and foremost. I watch every NFL game that I can, some teams I like, some I dont. Same with the NBA. My home team in every sport comes first, but I see nothing wrong with liking more than one team. There are players, certain styles of play, and coaches that i enjoy. For example, the Falcons are first always being the home team. No matter who they play, I root for them, but I also am a Colts fan and i see no problem with that. For me, it's odd for people to say they love a sport but only like one team. Then there would be no point in watching any of the other games. The teams that I like now, I have liked since I was a child and that wont change. I may not ride or die with every team that i like, but i am not ashamed to say that i like them.

Same way here. I love it when the home teams are winning, which is not always the case here. But if they lose, I don't feel bad in any way, that's just the way the game came out. I'm not playing in the game, so I don't get too upset if the lose.

Many times, I will cheer the play that just happened. The pass that was completed, the tackle, or the way the ball was handled. Often times, I don't care who is playing, I just get into the flow of the game.

while i was growing up we always went for the toronto maple leafs, so i have to like them. but my main team is the pittsburgh penguins. if the pens play the leafs i go for pittsburgh, but any other game the leafs play a root for them. so you can go for two teams, you just have to like one more.

You don't pick your team, your team picks you. There's a moment, a game, a player, a magical run, whatever, but it's the reason you love 'em. You can "like" all the teams you want (every season there are always some fun/exciting/good teams to watch other than your own), but if you have MORE than one "fave" in any sport you're a Fanster.

I have a lot of teams that I enjoy watching. 'Band wagon jumpers' are really only 'fans' that seem to root for a winning/championship team at the time of their success. I've been to a ton of baseball games over the country (mostly Minor League), and becaome a fan of that team because I like the ballpark, the fans, or just had a great experience there. I guess I don't 'live and die' with any team any more, because sports are just enjoyable no matter what and a distraction from real life. Most people though, root for the team they did when they were a kid, or their alma mater in college sports.

With the advent of free agency, it's easy to understand multiple favorite teams -- your favorite player moves and some of your allegiance goes with him/her

In my case, I started liking the Yankees in '55 .. the Phillies were heartbreaking in '64 and I jumped on an NL team bandwagon .. the Rays had Pinella as a manager and, at that time, lovable losers so I jumped on that bandwagon. I pull for the A.L. - except the Red Sox - I do have limits

I've liked the Bills since they started in '60 or '61 -- whatever it is (been a long long losing streak in there), but I liked the Eagles in '60 because they beat the Packers and sort of liked them ever since then. I also like the '49ers starting in the '70's, the Colts since Manning started and Saints when Archie started

The "die hard" part left a long time ago when too many players jumped from team to team .... if they can't be die hard, why should I

It's difficult for me not to be die hard with the Yankees & Bills -- but I just can't get a few interviews out of my head ... the one's where the players are saying they need the extra to put food on the table. When sports turned to an entertainment business rather than love of the game, the die hard part started leaving

I can't root for more than one team in football- for me it's emotionally impossible. I followed the Patriots when they were getting beat up every single week at the old toilet bowl called Sullivan Stadium in the snow and the rain and the cold by Dan Marino, Snake Stabler, Jim Kelly, Bob Griese, Lydell Mitchell, OJ Simpson, Terry Bradshaw, Ken Anderson, Bert Jones, John Elway, etc.

I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life. I follow all the teams, college and pro. I am a fan of baseball, football, and hockey, and I do watch other games as much as I can. I don't have any other teams that I will ever consider a "favorite," but that doesn't mean I can't pick a certain team that I'd like to see win for various reasons. Once the Pens were out of the playoffs, I wanted to see a western team win the Stanley Cup because I did not want to see Montreal win another one (24 is enough, sorry Marcus), and also because I would never be caught dead rooting for any team from Philadelphia.

it doesn't bother me. it does suggest to me though that perhaps their loyalty lies more within the sport than with any specific team. look at tiger. he "roots" for 31 ladies. clearly his love is more about the game than the actual connection with individual players. kinda the same? it makes sense in my head.

anyway. i have texans and chargers on my teams. when the oilers boot-scootin-boogied on out of here, what was i supposed to do? cheer for the tennessee oilers? f*ck. that. sh*t. i chose the chargers. they had super sweet uniforms. and i cheered for them a long time. my devotion to them of course has waned since the texans came about, but make no mistake i still care. kaeding's third missed kick in the playoffs resulted in my smashing the screen on my cell phone. kris brown's 11th missed kick in the regular season taught me never to trust a "manageable field goal"...ever again.

in conclusion, someone rooting for two teams in one major sport does not get my panties in an uproar.

as a true sports fan, i am busy getting sick over the lack of salary cap in baseball, the ongoing debate of instant replay in baseball, the designated hitter, the crime rate of athletes, the way media distorts reality to create drama within a sports story which - unless it's a badly played game - has enough drama in it as it is, brett favre stringing along respectable franchises, the steroid/witch hunt in mlb, what twitter has done to sports, what's going to happen in football next season, bud adams, bad owners who see the team as a source of income and nothing more, bcs system, college athletic programs cheating their brains out and the head honcho bailing before he has to take the weight of the consequences, "taunting" in football, flopping, closed-minded hatred for soccer, making the annoyance of vuvuzelas as much a headline story as the teams who won for the day during the world cup......

i can keep going. but as a true sports fan, these are the things that sicken me - not the team preference of other yahoos.

first and foremost, obviously it is the persons choice. and yes he/she must know that they will be called out upon for this and must be ready. I am ready, as in baseball this is the case.

lets start by saying there is a CLEAR difference between rooting for multiple teams and being a front runner. If you follow multiple teams, say two, that doesn't mean you are a front runner. A front runner switches year to year to based on who is doing well. While this could take away from the passion of loving a team it may add to the passion of loving a sport. There are people out there who love the SPORT, and not nec. a team. There are even more people out there that will follow certain players and root for them, and change teams if they move on to a different team.

Back to the matter at hand however. I will use me as an example. I grew up a Phillies fan. In the late 70's I knew every single player. I was 10 years old when they won the world series in 1980. They are my boyhood team. in 1984, when I was 14, my aunt took me to Yankee Stadium. The Yankees were dreadful at the time. But me being in love with baseball, was Thrilled to be somewhere else besides the Vet to see a game. And it just so happens it was one of the top 3 ballparks ever! well I fell in love. What happened was this:

back in that time there was no inter league play and there was really no threat of the philles and the yankees playing each other in the world series. The yankees had their worse decade ever and although the phillies made it to the series in 83 they were a one shot wonder with all ex Red veterans on their team who soon retired or what have you.

It was not uncommon for kids to have an AL and an NL team. So I adopted the Yankees as my AL Team and Don Mattingly as my favorite player. I still remember to this day all the times Mattingly was on Letterman. Anyway, years passed and both teams really hit hard times. Then in the mid 90's -- reward! Derek Jeter, and the rest come along and whamo. The ride was incredible. And then come the Phillies about 8 years later, seriously competing. At that point I began to realize this could happen. A head to head. and oh boy was I going to hear it. And I did !! But I was prepared to tell me story. Some were okay with it and some weren't but you know it is what it is. And who did I root for? The Phillies.

I got to tell you it was surreal rooting for Pedro Martinez to strike out Derek Jeter in Yankee stadium in October. Very weird.

People seem to be misinterpreting the whole point of what I am saying. Its not about "team preference" really. They are pretending to be a fan of a championship team when in actuality they are not. They are jumping on the bandwagon.

I couldn't care less if people are truly a fan of more than one time, but you better be from the beginning. And even that is questionable at best because most REAL fans will tell you that they roll with one team and one team only. In more cases than not these fans will tell you that there are teams that they don't mind to see do well, but they aren't a "die hard" fan of that secondary team.

Its bandwagon jumping that I have a huge problem with. It really tells you something about the person.

In other words don't wait until the team wins their first Super Bowl and run to your faniq profile and put the Saints on there. Thats beyond pathetic and sad imo.

I've been a Yankees fan since the Horace Clarke/Gene Michael/Jerry Kenny days of 1970...and a Mets DISLIKER since then. In the early days of Cable TV (we got ALL channels...2-13!) we got Philadelphia stations and New York stations, so I would watch the Phillies occasionally...they became my "NL" team, and even went to about 1-2 games a year at the Vet...then, Med school and residency in Philly, kinda rooted for the lovable losers...('85-'91).

I know what you're saying and I agree with you for the most part. I think things are a little different for the Saints because of Hurricane Katrina. The region was devastated by the flooding and I believe the nation rooted for them because they were a feel good story for the great city of New Orleans.

But yeah, the people that all the sudden became a Patriots fan in the mid 90's is a joke. Chances are those same people are Lakers, Yankees, UNC bball, and Florida football fans. If they're into Nascar, they roll with Jimmy Johnson. They probably jumped on my Blackhawks bandwagon too, which was out of control by the way.

I've been attending games since the early 90's at the Madhouse on Madison. I was in the 300 level just a few seasons ago when the UC was half full on a good night(the one exception being the Red Wings). When it became clear that the Hawks were a formidable team, people that are clueless about hockey came out of the woodwork proclaiming they were lifetime fans. Those same people couldn't properly pronounce Toews(Tayves - but they would call him "toes"), didn't even attempt Dustin Byfuglien(they used his nickname "Big Buff"), and didn't have a clue what offsides or icing was. I wouldn't mind it much if ticket prices didn't skyrocket because of bandwagon fans, but I've learned to accept it's inevitable, especially in a city like Chicago.

If that's what you mean I absolutely agree. But what you said was I like one team in each major sport and I root for them and noone else. Its amusing to me how some people claim to be fans of multiple teams, it doesn't make any sense.

That's not the same.

Just for the record, I'm no BANDWAGON fan. Been BLEEDING BLACK & GOLD since 1986 !!!! The only good thing about all these bandwagon Saints' fans is the demand for merchandise. For the longest time it wasn't easy finding Saints' merchandise living in Pennsylvania. Today is entirely different story. The picture below kinda explains how I became a Saints' fan. I wrestled for a team called the St. Anthony's "Saints". Thus being the reason why I became a Saints' fan. When I got into watching football, I chose the Saints, for the obvious reason. If you look closely you can see the name "Saints" on my sweatshirt.
