have you been "loyal" to the same professional teams?
1) NBA - started with the Houston Rockets (only team on TV). Also, when it came to Celtics vs. Lakers, I hated the Celtics, and like the Lakers. Much later after a few years in Utah, started liking the Jazz. Mavs for a while, rivaled my interest in Jazz, but that has dimmed. I'm not too invested.
2) MLB - I was a big fan of the Braves (again, only team regularly on TV except for the Cubs). I liked Dale Murphy. Once Murphy retired, and I was busy with college, stopped caring. Second place would be the Astros. Now I don't really care about any team. Maybe I care a little about the Rangers, but the owner is terrible and the team is terrible.
3) NFL - it's always been the Cowboys. But when Steve Young was doing well with the niners, I liked them as well. Again, for me, Cowboys only team regularly on TV.
But in the end, I don't get rabid support for a pro team. I've been to one NBA game, a handful of MLB games, and no NFL games.
