Favorite Football Team

WTF... Why do people have favorite football teams? It's like saying "I like Exxon Mobil over Texaco." Favorite sports team is just dumb unless you own stock in them or something.
Favoring teams in international competition (e.g. olympics/world cup) make sense because there's actrually nationalism involved. (not that it's a good thing, but it is human psychology).

Or maybe its more fun to follow your team and get to know it's playersthere are lots of reasons
The players aren't from your state anyway. And most likely you weren't born in that state either. And there's no "stateism" like there's "nationalism." So why does it matter if a city has a better team?
maybe because the live in/near the city they are based? if youre going to follow a team, might as well be the home team, wouldnt you think?
saints fan here.

Um... Why shouldnt we have pride in a team we like? Its more about going out and having fun with friends and talking about your fav player the next day around the water cooler.

so there is no such thing as pride in one's state, or city, but there is in one's country, because a word ("nationalism") exist for such a thing?
you make as much sense as a tennis helmet
my team is the Detroit Lions -- many Texas players on there. 49ers used to be good until they were fraught with scandals and general shttiness
No. I'm not talking about the vocabulary, I'm talking about the fact that the concept of nationalism down to the state/city level doesn't exist in real life.
I haven't really had a favorite team since Joe Montana left the 49ers, but I like the Patriots and I've followed the Jets, Jaguars, and Vikings just to see how a few fellow Marshall alumni are doing. Guess I'll have to change Vikings to Raiders now.

Id like to see how much better the Vikings will do without Randy Moss, since we was a showboating a$$hole who only contributed to the team when he felt like it. Ha Raiders got screwed on that trade.
