And come on, don't you all usually find someone to pull for in the playoffs if your team doesn't make it?
only for gambling purposes.
i'll like players on different teams, but i have emotional attachment to one team per sport and one team only.
to me that's the only way you can go, but to each his own i guess.
i'd go to celtic games when i was in new hampshire, but only for the sake of going to the game... i'd never root for the celtics. as bad as they may be, i'll always be a knicks fan... and a mets fan and a giants fan. i was an islanders fan at one point, but i gave that upon the discovery that hockey is for communists.
i just feel it's much more rewarding when you root for ONE team and one team only... having just one team, even through the lowest lows makes the highest highs all the better, IMO. when you have more than one "favorite team" you can just switch to one of your "other" teams if your team isn't doing well... and that's pretty gangsta in my mind.
my only exception is college basketball, where i stay neutral because i know too many people involved in the sport to root for any one team... i know people at northwestern, villanova, hofstra, columbia, davidson & fordham, and in the past years have known people at hartford, quinnipiac, maryland, wake & yale. so it's next to impossible to have one team, so i don't have one. if i had attened a D1 university, that would be the school... but i was a lowly D3 player, so, yea... no.
