Reply #16: You said it better than I could...

Attempting to get a logical and rational answer for why someone is in love with a sports team and roots for them through thick and thin is like trying to get a logical answer why people love their children, or their favorite flavor of ice cream. You just DO.

I grew up in an Eagles household. At about age 7, I decided I liked the Redskins. I think I liked their uniforms. Then they won the Super Bowl and I was hooked. They've been bad for MANY more years than they've been good, and yet I still have my Redskins sticker on my car and I still root for them. They're just my team. That's the way it is, and they could be bad for the rest of my life, and I'll still love them. And that's the most logical explanation I can give; that is, it's totally illogical. :)
