For many it is about entertainment, not allegiance
They cheer for whoever entertains them. Nothing wrong with that.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand how you can switch team allegiances?

They are chumps who were probably never really fans in the first place and

It is impossible to switch. You can maybe add a team.

I should have done grad school someplace other that BYU to make this possible

If you were ever a real fan you could never really switch

I grew up a Raiders fan...when they left Oakland the first time I gave up on them

I’m fine with this. They left you, you didn’t leave them

I can only see this if you are a fan of a player and they switch teams.

For instance if Steve Young had been traded to Kansas City, I would have

So you were a Steve Young fan not a real 49ers fan
DanSmith

I'm a 49ers/Browns fan — but mostly I'm a BYU fan so BYU players often trump

Yeah I get it totally. Completely different from switching

Divorce happens I guess. Just not usually with fandom.

It’s bizarre. I can’t imagine someone who grew up a UCLA fan deciding 20 years ago switching to USC because USC

I guess if you thought UCLA had no chance to ever be competitive, went off on

Nope. I’d still call that fan a loser.

I can see this, but you don’t dump your wife for her closest friend (or enemy).

I don't get switching allegiances, but I do understand finding a second team.

Exactly. Who crosses over to the rival? A loser.

Yep. I've added pro teams based upon 30 years of residency.

I grew up in Utah, and my dad was a BYU fan, but he was much bigger Broncos fan.

I’m with you. Especially becoming a Utah fan after cheering for BYU. Spineless.

If you are a tru fan, you don't switch.
