While I hate the Cowboys with the passion of a thousand suns, I still don't understand why someone would hate on a person because of the team they root for.
Hate the guy, I remember when he was wearing a Yankee hat at the Indians playoff games. He is an ideal bandwagon fan, there is no legitimate reason why he is a Cowboy or Yankee fan. Was he born in Texas or New York? Nope Did he go to school in either state? Nope Does he have any sort of previous connection to those states? Nope Does he have any historical relation such as family that were fans? Probably not, he doesn't even know who his own father is. BANDWAGON FAN!
He doesn't have to like a home team. If he roots for the cowboys even when they suck or the yankees when they suck, does it really matter? Cowboys have sucked the last decade, I think their record the past 10 years is barely over .500.
Bandwagon fans usually root for whatever team is on top. As far as I know, LeBron has liked the same teams his whole life. Can you really blame the guy? He didn't have a dad, so he probably just rooted for who was exciting on TV. My parents had no knowledge of American sports, so I sort of just started liking the teams that I saw on TV when I was 6-7. I became a Rockets fan, a Vikings fan, a UConn basketball fan, and a Miami football fan. I don't see why people would have a problem with it.
I never understood why he's "taking notes". The people that criticized him are still expecting him to win the ring so if he wins its not like he's proving them wrong or anything. Is he just going to hold a grudge then?
I'm from LA and I love the rockets, but I have no relationship to Houston at all. Does that not allow me to like the rockets??
I hate, I repeat, hate bandwagon fans! My brother is one of them and I can't stand it! One minute he's a Lakers fan, next minute he's a Celtics fan, then a Cavs fan and now a Heat fan. I stick with the hometown Rockets when they won only 20 or 30 games or when they win 50 games.
But if you stick with one team your whole life (even if it's not your home team and you have no connection to them in any way), are you a bandwagon fan?
