It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Other people can change teams and I'll wish them luck....I don't condone but I won't say anything about it. When someone changes teams every year that's ridiculous and they can't even be considered a fan.
I suppose I can see your point there. I guess someone who changes allegiance solely based on who is winning shouldn't really call themselves a fan of that team. To do so does seem somewhat disingenuous when they really are only a fan of winning. But I'm still not sure I understand the vitriol associated with how a person chooses to enjoy the game.
LOL suspicious you would choose to root for the heat. I'm guessing you were a celtics fan before lebron and bosh went to miami?
Welcome to the board.
I myself was originally a Vikings fan until about age 18. At that point football vanished from my life for about 15 years. I was unable to get Vikings games because I was in college/living in Mass. Plus I was working like crazy and just didn't think on it. I guess previously I had never been that interested in football. When I stopped working so much and returned to the sport (wow, spare time!) the only player still around who had a name I knew was Randy Moss, now a NE Patriot. I live in Massachusetts now and I've married into a family of pats fans, so I have also converted. It was in the vows.
I think sometimes fans take team allegiances far too seriously which I find a little nerdy and judgmental (sorry! just my opinion). It is the holier-than-thou of recreation. I don't know where these fan rules come from nor can I understand this fan-o-meter which measures the quality of a fan. If players move team to team, coaches are free to move around, fans should have this freedom as well. At the end of the day, this is just a sport, a game, a pass-time, and something to enjoy. No one can tell you what to enjoy.
I'm a Heat fan too. I have the luxury of being born in Boston and raised in South Florida. Pats, Sox, and Heat for the major professional sports. The great thing about being a fan of all of those teams was that I was around and rooting for them just as hard in the lay years. What did that do? Gave me more enjoyment when those teams did finally win a championship in my lifetime. I bet you don't even remember Tim Hardaway, Dan Majerle, and Zo battling the Knicks back in the 90's. What a pathetic excuse for a "fan" you are. I'd ban you myself if I were an admin. There's no room for "fans" like you.
I'm not saying I was fan since 08. I became a fan on July 8, 2010 when Lebron joined the Heat. Anyways only losers cheer for losing organizations so if the patriots start sucking then i'm out.
This sort of conversion is fine with me. You married into it and are now living in the state. It makes sense that YOU would convert to being a Pats fan. It makes no sense whatsoever to have been born and to have lived all of your life in Florida, grew up rooting for the Dolphins, and then becoming a convert to the Pats just because they're winning. It's even worse to actually admit that you'll be jumping off the bandwagon (hopefully head first) once Brady and Belichick are gone.
I'm beginning to think that this is a joke by some fat Jets fan residing in his mother's basement with too much time on his hands.
you've made the right choice. i was a former dolphins fan but now decided to root for a classy winning organization. i'll be a die hard pats fan until brady and bellichick leave/retire.

dont know why my post was deleted, but yeah, pats fans take their football seriously dude. they are blue collar, passionate and like chowder.
So much research went into that post, it'll take me a while to process all those facts. I can't imagine why a post of yours could ever be deleted. Must be those internet gnomes that are always after you, right?

Well it was a fun week of being a patriots fan but I'm out. I hope there's some room on the jets or steelers bandwagon.
