    Aye the talk of tanking seems to have gone away, also had a decent draft for a change.

    What made you choose the Bears?

    They should be good this year.

    Bulls are my NBA team.

    And I’ve got an irrational hatred for people who support different American sports teams from different cities.

    Like their NBA team are the Warriors, NFL team are the Patriots and their NHL are the Blackhawks.

    I was thinking about this recently how Europeans pick American sport teams to support and what their reasons for following that particular team. We don't tend to pick one city and support all the NFL NBA MLB NHL teams from that one city but instead we have an NBA team from one city and NFL from another and so on. It would make more sense to pick one city and follow all the teams but I think your only European I've come across that does that.

    Basically you’re saying I’m the only person you’ve seen that’s not a glory hunter than...?

    :fear:

    Being serious though, it does my * nut in with American teams that someone from LA can just happen to be a Miami Heat fan and also a Patriots fan.

    I get it people have soft spots for certain teams and certain players, like Europeans liking Barca/Real because of Messi/Ronaldo, but actually ‘supporting’ them doesn’t make sense to me.

    A Lakers fan came on r/Bulls the other day saying they were now going to start supporting the bulls because they didn’t like how much they traded for AD and thought Bulls had a good young core than would end up being successful :56:

    I'm not sure why it would make more sense to do that. The only reason to give your loyalty to a city is if you come from that city. Obviously nobody who was born here has that bond with any American city so there is no real reason to limit yourself to picking all your sports teams from one city.

    I don't think you have to come from a particular city but you can feel a connection to a city and it does feel slightly odd when you have cities that are rivals to an extent, like New York and Boston but following say Boston Celtics in NBA but in the MLB following NY Yankees but maybe I'm over thinking it :84: as I don't follow that logic.
