I agree that Christie Creme does not truly have a "home team" in New Jersey. However, I do think people with teams in their city should "root for the home team". While I feel that way, I don't lose sleep over the fact that some people don't agree with me.

As a kid growing up in Alabama, there were no professional sports teams. Most people there were into college sports, or you picked a team from another state. I was a fan of the Baltimore Colts and the L.A. Dodgers through the 60's. After my family moved to Houston, TX in 1969, I became a fan of the local teams and abandoned my devotion to those teams from other states.

I have been a Dallas Cowboy fan ever since Roger Staubach days. I live in NC and have never even been to Texas much less to a Cowboy game. I do root for the Carolina Panthers, but not if they are playing Dallas! I am not "invested" in them as I am the Cowboys, however. I am not ecstatic when they win or devastated when they lose
