Loyalty

[True Lakers Fan]

Loyalty is the most misguided and abused concept in professional sports. Why should there be an unbreakable bond formed as soon as the commissioner says a player's name after a team on draft night? Heck, some of the players barely have time to adjust their caps before they're traded somewhere else. And they're at the whim of management for the rest of their careers. Fan loyalty is an overstated commodity as well. Peer pressure and unwritten rules forbid changing allegiances, even though their favored team can turn over the roster, sell the team to new owners or even move. We're free to switch cable or satellite TV providers or cellphone service carriers, but we're not allowed to change teams? Who authored that constitutional amendment?

Man you guys are really over thinking this. I was young I liked some teams and I continue to support them. Even if they don't do so well I still stick with them. To each their own.
