    coz-

    i think peopel are fans of certain temas for other reasons them "hometown". there are people who live in SA who are NOT spurs fans.. and there are Spurs fans all across the country.
    i myself have been a Baltimore Orioles fan for 17 years.... and they've sucked for a good 14 of those years... and I've never lived anywhere near Baltimore.
    In texas I have a chioce of the Astros or the rangers... and i'll admit that if I lived in houston i'd support the "hometeam".. but I'd still be an Orioles fan #1.
    I'm not huge into football.... but if the Saints played here I'd support them.

    my point it that there isn;t really a valid reason to put aside your favorite team just because there is one closer to home. that seems bandwagoonish to me.

    Someone has to speak the truth and I will say it again, there are many, many Hispanic/Latina women who are much more beautiful than the over-hyped, an anorexic appearing "show it all" all the time in public, Eva.

    Include in this category my wife, Ana, from Panama who at 40 is still a very trim 6 with more in right places than Tony's squeeze!

    Anyone talking trash about the Eva is not a Spur fan....

    Eva's a sweet girl.. Just because she plays a part on TV does not let you judge her.

    Back off EVA!!

    "my point it that there isn;t really a valid reason to put aside your favorite team just because there is one closer to home. that seems bandwagoonish to me."

    well said, but here's my point.

    If the washington nationals were the san antonio nationals, would you still support baltimore as your number one team?

    I agree it SEEMS to be bandwagonish (is that a word?), but if you love the sport, what is the problem with rooting for your hometown team. I understand that there are other fans for other reasons, perhaps you're from there, you liked a player they had, whatever.

    I'll root for the hometown football team first and foremost, for many different reasons.

    - I love the sport. NFL football live is better than any sport in this country. I would root for the cardinals if they were here.
    - I love my hometown. The NFL could do great things for san antonio. I root for that too. What the has baltimore or dallas ever done for you?
    - I root for a team for a current reason. I know some are attached to the boys for Aikman or Emmit. Maybe they were Starbauch fans, who knows. Perhaps you really liked Robbie Alomar. Doesn't matter. Players move so quickly in baseball and football that you really can't have a long attachment to the team for anything other than geography, team colors, or fear of switching to another team and being labled "bandwagon".

    (I would also like to address the term bandwagon. Isn't it the distant fan who is in fact the true bandwagon fan? A san antonio native isn't a bandwagon fan for supporting a san antonio team. a san antonio native who is a baltimore fan must have been, at one point, a bandwagon fan for whatever reason.)

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, why would you stick to baltimore after all of the players who made you an orioles fan have left, the coaches have changed, the mangement has changed, and even the uniform has changed? Is it just so your friends won't see you're a bandwagon jumper? Do you like the city of baltimore that much? Is it just a bad habit? Understand, this is a hypothetical question IF SA had a ML team, would you switch sides?
