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

That said, I don't think visiting a city is a prerequisite to fandom.

Never been to San Fran, but I'm a Niner fan.

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

7/9/19 8:52am

Actually, yes. You shouldn’t be a fan of a historically dominant European soccer

Except, as a fan free agent, there needs to be a compelling draw to a team. You can find the occasionally plucky team,

Not sure what your point is here...

Also aren't you a Niner fan?

So my brother is a Red Sox fan, loves them...

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

So who are fans in areas without teams supposed to cheer for?

So I'm a Dodgers fan...

Marty was one of my favorites growing up too.

If you truly live in a place with no local or regional team nearby, then you are

I haven't been to Atlanta and the last time I was in Philadelphia I was 6. Still a fan.

I grew up in Vegas and started rooting for the Red Sox in '97. My fandom peaked in '04 when they came back from 3-0 to

Like 80% of Red Sox nation outside of New England was born in 04. That's why it's annoying

My grandpa is a lifelong Yankee fan and didn't go to New York until he was in
