Because sports teams aren’t just indistinguishable entities; they’re complex organisations with histories, tendencies, and traditions, and that’s before looking at individual players and coaches/managers.
Comment on How does one who doesn’t have a ‘home’ choose their team?
Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 days agoYes and to a non-sportsball fan that’s weird. They all play sportsball, what’s different about that team vs all the others if it’s not your home team?

It’s just one you vibe with. Maybe a friend or family member is a fan. Maybe it’s the rival of the local area. Maybe it’s a team from the first game you watched in person. Maybe you like the mascot (if they have one).
There doesn’t have to be a rhyme or reason, it’s just a game. Find one, follow them, you become invested in them, now you’re a fan. Some people take it more seriously, some people keep it light hearted, and some people don’t care at all.
