BE-WHY-YOU All-American

Never been to New York, but Ive been a Yankees fan my entire life.

I was raised a Yankee fan. My dad went to Yankee Stadium in 1961 for his first Major League Baseball game. The year of Mantle/Maris. He had always loved the Yankees, but that sealed the deal for him. Its been all Yankees ever since. Ive never known anything else.

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

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

He is probably a Lakers fan too.

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,

Sounds like the bandwagoner’s creed.

Not sure what your point is here...

7/9/19 9:07am

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 can agree with a substantial part of what you just wrote.

There is no rhyme or reason for the teams I like, so I'm a giant hypocrite. But you can't pick the Yankees or Red Sox

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

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

You are really obsessed with WHO is a fan of WHAT, aren't you? 🙂 How long has

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

He must be so disappointed in you
