Let the man cheer for the football team he so desires.

[willywill]

you mean he’s not one of those phony politicians who say they’ve been a fan of the team where they are currently campaigning and then proceed to pronounce all the names wrong?

[defconw]

Yeah, who cares? A lot of people like the same team all their lives. My one BIL grew up when the Steelers were in their hay-day. He still likes them. He's never been within a 1000 miles of Pittsburgh.

I’m with you on this. Absurd that the governor because he’s an elected official in a specific geographic area (a state that doesn’t even have a football team, incidentally!) has to cheer for the ‘local’ team.

There are no local teams in the NFL. Has no one noticed? The coaches and players are interchangeable, depending on how much $ they are offered elsewhere after the initial contract expires (sometimes before).

While two teams play their home games in New Jersey, neither of them chooses to identify with New Jersey. They both claim New York as their home. The NJ Gov owes them no allegiance.

[Vigilanteman]

Yep. I could care less what football team he roots for.

I am, however, very disturbed by the kissy face scene with ObaMao that helped the Kenyan extend his misrule by four more years.

That’s how I feel. The fact that this is even being discussed astonishes me.

It’s a sport,for heaven’s sake.
