The Chiefs were never on TV in SF when I lived there, and Sunday Ticket didn't exist. I will always choose the Chiefs over the 49ers, but that doesn't mean I can't like the 49ers.
I am a lifelong Mizzou fan. But I have lived in Hawaii for 22 years, and I need a local team to root for, a team I can actually watch on TV once in a while, so I am also a Hawaii fan.
I'm also a lifelong Royals fan, but never get to see them play. I became a Giants fan while in SF, so they are my second team.
This really isn't that complicated. There is nothing "willy nilly" about this. You seem to have loyalty to your town and state, which is great, but I haven't lived in KC in 30 years and have no loyalty to that city anymore.

You know what. I really don't get offended by the angry types like OTWP, and JasonSauto, and I don't mind the antagonistics like SDH, and Clay, but the pompous and arrogant like Duncan, and Kaepernick, they are the worst people on earth. They are the people that even in real life, will be condescending pricks.
I completely understand your logic dude.
I grew up in North Carolina when there wasn't a professional football team. Everyone there loved either the Redskins, or the Falcons. Neither appealed to me. I started liking the 49ers because of Tom Rathman. At the same time I started watching a Giants team with Bud Black, and a charismatic first baseman named Will Clark.
I only started liking the browns when my grandpa died as a way to honor him.
I don't have a second baseball team, I can only watch the Giants, I have two NBA teams, the Pelicans, the former hornets, and the future hornets, only one college team.
I understand people saying they don't like people having second teams.
What has always confused me.....
I have a buddy, who is a florida gators football fan, a north Carolina basketball fan, a Cal State Fullerton baseball fan.
im like how the HELL do you do that?
