So? What else are you supposed to do if you're from a place with no team?

Kudos if he’s a Lakers fan. They haven’t made the playoffs in 7 years

Let's say you're a fan of an English Premier League team, but have never been to

Also aren't you a Niner fan?

Bandwagon fans are the worst. I’ll make an exception for young kids.

Why would anyone choose to affiliate with the most annoying fanbase in MLB?
