Gee!

Cant and chose ya busters..

Either support then all or your much like a politician or a parent saying just do as I say..

AZ is your home.. love it or go else where..

Can you honestly try to explain to your children loyalty? Then turn around and root for an out of town team? Think about it...

Gee!

My mind is blown thinking how people can root for other teams other than AZ..

I may not be an AZ native, but I was brought here by my mom at age 5.. She was a life long GB Packers fan but gave all that up when the Cards got here..

Do the lakers have a longer history than the packers? no, they dont..

This is AZ and we should teach tem about this state, not what your parents came from..


This is your home, treat it as such, or or just clouding your childrens minds..

Here's my point of view...

I was born and raised in Phoenix...West Phoenix, since I know you're from there. I now live in Oklahoma, where most of the population consider the Texas pro teams (especially the Cowboys) as their home team.

Even if I live in Texas, there is absolutely no way I would ditch my loyalty for the AZ teams, including ASU.

Yes, I did wish the Hornets made the playoffs when they were here, but they are nothing to me compared to the Suns. Everyone I know in Oklahoma knows that I'm a huge Suns and Cardinals fan.

Every Friday, I wear my ASU hat to work. When it was winter I wore my ASU beanie instead. I never even went to ASU, but that's who I grew up cheering for. If my kids want to root for the local team (any Texas team), that's fine with me, but I'm not changing my loyalties.

Louis

Suns fan
Cubs fan
University of Nebraska fan
Duke University fan

That sums it up for me.

Card Trader

Other than the Cubs it looks like you are Mr. Frontrunner.

Don't pick and choose the teams you root for, root for all the AZ teams or none.

Mulli

Cheer for whatever teams you want. Who cares.

This isn't a turf war. It is sports. I guess all the St. Louis based football Cardinals fans who stayed loyal to the team in some way are wrong, because they should be Rams fans.

LOL.

Grew up in South Dakota. No pro sports teams.

However had WGN, CBS which always aired Vikings/Cowboys games and Duke is generally one of the more nationally televised college teams in America.

The Cornhuskers are of nearby Lincoln and were always aired locally as well.

I also lived in Nebraska, North Dakota, New Mexico, and now reside in Arizona.

Um, many people root for the teams there parents did. They just arent Arizona teams.

phillycard

Gee, I feel much as you do. I know I'm stabbing my Phialdelphia brethren in the back each time I root for an eagles loss. That's just the way it's gotta be. Especially as I sit with most of my mortal enemies at Flyers, Sixers and Phillies games. I look at my Cards fandom as a quirk. A good one, but a quirk nevertheless.

Like the Wildcats?

Go Sun Devils !!

Gaddabout

Born in Alabama, moved to Arizona at age 2 in 1971. I had nothing preventing me from rooting for the pro sports teams. If Alabama ever plays ASU in college football, I've got a real dilemma on my hands, though.

No crap. I support most AZ teams, but that doesn't make you any less of a sports fan if you like Duke, or Nebraska, or Florida State football.

Unequivocally supporting all AZ teams, no matter what kind of example that they set isn't any good either.

Get off of your "AZ sports only" high horse. The world operates in shades of grey.
