You knew something wasn’t right with NY fans all around you.Some fans became fans very young before they knew what "abandoning their local team" meant.
I was about 10-12 years old when Unitas and Namath were childhood idols and Cowboys hadn’t won squat but we didn’t begin rooting for their teams above ours.
We simply were infatuated with their talent and enjoyed watching them play jealous they weren’t on our team.
That doesn’t mean you don’t still root for your home town team to win. I’ll just never understand that . It goes against everything I was ever taught to be as a sports fan .
Thank goodness all the Cleveland and Detroit type fans didn’t all hop on winners or these leagues wouldn’t be able to survive without the local support.
