They're the only ones possible. --- End quote --- EA should put "the best [league name] game available" on all the packaging of their sports games. In regards to sports fan being idiots, one thing that is nice about cheering for a local team is that it's something easy to bond with other locals on. For example I can socialize with a lot of my co-workers based on our mutual fandom of the Vancouver Canucks. Aside from that and our job, some of us don't necessarily have much in common. But we can get together and all go to a pub to watch a Canucks playoff game together (THAT hasn't happened in a while) and have a good time. Meanwhile if I want to socialize over Nintendo there are only a handful of my co-workers that would have any idea what I was talking about other than knowing that Mario and Pokemon are things that exist. |

Why do they even like the teams they do? * Because the teams claim to represent the city the fan is from or * Because they win. or even * Because they see them on TV a lot (this can be a subset of the first one) These are the sorts of a reasons a dog might provide for why it likes things. --- End quote --- You forgot a big one, and that's being raised that way. All the non-soccer teams I'm a fan of are because those were the teams my dad liked so I grew up watching them. Until extremely recently the only non-insane reason to be a Browns fan was because you'd been born into it. |

Switching to whatever team is currently good is the mortal sin of sports fandom. And if you live somewhere with multiple teams like New York you can't flip-flop. You to have to pick one team per sport and stick with them. So until essentially this off-season I can't imagine anyone being a Cleveland Browns fan without following the acceptable reasons for fandom. |

Some people are getting ahead of themselves and jumping on the bandwagon, buying into the hype of Baker and OBJ and picking them under the assumption that they're about to be really good, which I wouldn't say is really any different from picking a team just because they're good. |

Put simply, Manchester City didn't have 2 million members in 2016. And they didn't have a million in 2010. |
