Quote:PS . I find it odd that Americans will pick and change allegiances at the drop of a hat rather strange . In England , a sports team is for life !!
OK .... here's the differences
1) England only really has 1 real sport
2) England's soccer teams have been around for 100+ years
You don't find people jumping teams that were born in a town whose teams have been in existence for a decent length of time.
Most of the fans that tend to jump around come from a city that didn't have a team in that sport or don't have a team that has been established long enough to have roots being passed down for a few generations.
The attached listing of soccer teams illustrate that most of England's teams have ~ 4 generations of existence.

Quote:Hello Jags fans,
I used to be a big fan of the Broncos, until they treated Tebow the way they did. I realized that they did that years ago but I can not root for them anymore. I started watching the way teams build and I have really enjoyed the way the Jags and the way the Cards have been building their teams. So I have have started rooting for both of them. While I never really followed the Jags after Fred Taylor was gone, I know a decent amount about their history. But I absolutely love the way Caldwell is building this team. Just looking for a place to be able to be able to talk to some Jags Fans.
I started following the Broncos after they dumped Tebow

You need to start following NASCAR.
Welcome! You can follow the Jags over the next 3-4 years and enjoy the upward climb then ditch us after they do something to annoy you. You're quite the loyal fan!
