Is there a point in claiming a team besides loyalty?

I'll tell you what. Let me explain to you about last week.
It was Thursday night... KC was @ Philly... and all that day, I was excited. As the game starts, my pulse rushes with adrenaline... this goes on all game long as I am pinned to the TV in hopes of a KC victory.
Now skip to Sunday. It's almost noon, and I elect to watch NOLA vs AZ and flip back and forth with other games like STL vs DAL. No excitement.. no adrenaline.. just watching various games for love of the game.
3 hours later that Sunday, here comes the excitement... the adrenaline.. as the 49ers take on the Colts. All game long.. pinned to the TV.
So you... a pure Chiefs fan... likely feel that football excitement for your 3 hours a week. Me as a SF/KC fan? I doubled my pleasure. Would I add more teams to take an emotional attachment to? No. Two is about all I can handle.
There isn't a ton of distinction between the people lashing out and condemning those who "are a fan of more than one team" vs those who like some other teams more than other teams. I like many teams in the NFL... at least more than others. I just happen to like the 49ers the most... and the Chiefs the next most.
So I really think this is all about degrees, semantics, and immature fanhood hubris.
That's all. Maybe you got something out of this? maybe not... whatever.
