I never got why this is such a big deal for some people. If someone follows a team year-in and year-out, win or lose, who cares whether or not they have any connections to the city/region?
I know people that latched on to players on the other side of the country as a kid and became lifelong fans of the team. That doesn't bother me so long as they stick with the team.
Now people like my jackass buddy who was a diehard Lakers fan ten years ago, and is now a Golden State fan, those guys I have a problem with.
And before some genius says, "That's what I would expect a Sox fan in Denver to say", my family is from New England originally.
