I always laugh when I see people getting all worked up about “their” team.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I was working for a guy in the early 80’s (Before announcing you were a Vietnam Vet in public was the fashionable thing to do) and I had either AL or VFW license plates, couple of VN stickers and a USN sticker on MY trucks rear window.

The guy comes up to me, shakes his head and says “All that stuff and not one Redskins Decal”

I just ‘looked him in the eye’ and said

“I never played for the Redskins”.

At the time, I was a Redskin fan but even today I won’t wear a hat or shirt etc of ANY ship or unit I wasn’t stationed aboard the ONLY exception may be is the Nationals.
It is a stretch but I once had a tryout with the Washington Senators so maybe a National thing (by extension) would be ‘ok’. <: <: <:

I do wear sweatshirts for the college sports teams I worked for.

That’s the extent of my “fandom.”
