The biggest thing being overlooked is that no one should likely give two shits about this. I know that any of you could throw out two team names as your favorites, and I couldn't care less or bother to judge you for it.
That would imply I really care about your history and mental processes of how this came to be. I don't mean that to be insulting... but this is a forum of anonymous people. Do we really care to get to know them on some intimate level? If so, then **** that. Share your football and non-football opinions, and that could be interesting, but not terribly important in your grand scheme. Start talking all personal like girlfriends, and it gets quickly
. If people need the internet forums to "develop close relationships?" Oh man.. yeah that's not... that's not so good.
