    First listing is Boston Celtics, second is LA Lakers. Doesn't get much more fraudulent than that

    some other teams listed

    Vikings and Packers
    Patriots and Giants
    Flyers and Bruins AND Blackhawks AND PENGUINS., not to mention the rangers
    San Fran Giants and Phillies

    I think I got that beat.

    This one guy I went to high school with , is probably the biggest fraud I know. Always bad mouthing philly teams on facebook. Now he grew up around me (near philly). Hates The Eagles! Doesn't care for the Phillies or Sixers also.

    Guess who is fav NFL team? You guessed it, Dallas! Then there's his fav NBA team, The Lakers. I asked him if he liked the Yankees he surprisingly said no (unless they play the Phills). Almost called him out on it but decided just to let it go.

    I hate to say this after living in Brooklyn, NY for a time in my youth....I probably would have been all NYC and their abnoxiousness fanhood of ALL of their teams had I moved their BEFORE growing up in Boston. It was THAT close. :)

    was at wawa yesterday. the guy in front of me in line had a big stupid cowboy star tattoo on his calf....saw him hop into a pickup truck that, typically, had a yankees bumper sticker on it. :x

    you, sir, are a fraud.


    carry on.

    right. but we have 7-11's all around us like we do wawa's. so we have a choice every day and it's not even a competition. wawa's in addition to being much cleaner, has a much wider selection and better quality food. i don't think 7-11's have deli's, do they? wawa does. plus the gas stations are always a plus.

    and above all else, i much prefer the people who run wawa's than to those who run 7-11's. nothing against certain people, but i feel more comfortable buying from someone who can speak my language. ;)

    i'd rate sheetz above 7-11 actually.

    7-11 and a few no name random places, and because of the liqour laws, a few small stores that specialize in beer and booze.

    we used to have white hen, but i think 7-11 bought them out. :?:

    and gas stations.

    i think it's been discussed in here before but what's appropriate for college loyalties?

    there's someone on this forum who is under the assumption that you must root for the school you went to and that is it. no questions ask. i believe he's okay with rooting for the school your parents went to as well.

    i find this ridiculous as it eliminates almost half of the country from having a college sports rooting interest as half the country did not attend college...and that's just not good for business :mrgreen:

    and what of the folks who went to smaller, non division 1 schools? the minor leagues of college sports? are they only required to have an interest in division 2 schools for the rest of their lives?

    here's my story in a nutshell: i'm born in raised in radnor township where villanova university resides. both parents are from the exact same area. i grew up in the same house my dad was raised. neither of them went to college but rooted for nova since nova was their hometown school. i inherited this from them. i also have a few relatives who went there. had an uncle who used to bring me to games at the dupont as a kid. also used to sneak into the dupont to shoot hoops after school as our high school was just a few blocks away. i was also friends with a kid whose dad was the AD at nova in the 90's. so just about everyone i knew growing up was a big nova fan despite the team grossly underachieving for much of that era (talking about the basketball team).

    am i supposed to have all of this data eliminated from my brain once i graduated high school and attended a different college? :lol::lol: i went to a small public university in the middle of pennsylvania. division 2 sports in everything. nobody really cared much about the teams there unless they were on the teams or were friends with someone on the teams (my senior year our football team played in the championship game. we all got loaded for it as it was on espn2--but it was more or less a joke because nobody really paid attention to them unless it was homecoming and our parents wanted to go to the game :lol: ). so we all rooted for the teams we grew up rooting for. it's not like nova was ever gonna play bloomsburg in anything other than an exhibition.

    so i find this acceptable since it's my hometown team, i had a built in loyalty from my parents, and i did not attend a different d1 school. even if i did i can see some gray areas there though. college rooting interests is just different than pro sports.

    what say you? am i fraud? how did you end up rooting for your college team? are YOU a fraud? :lol:

    I go to Fairfield University, but I root for UConn. Grew up watching their games and there's a certain state pride involved. I root for Fairfield as well, but the MAAC is no Big East.

    7. Be very careful when using the word "We" with your favorite team. Use it judiciously. Just remember, you don't wear a uniform, you don't play any minutes, and you're not on the team. And yes, this was an extremely tough line for me to straddle during the Patriots' Super Bowl run.

    i'm guilty for this. i say "we" all the time.

    well being a Nova fan doesn't make you a fraud it makes you uhh something much worse :lol::lol::lol:

    but seriously Jaegs i don't get that certain someone's argument at all. i mean a lot of people grow up with certain teams even if you don't go to a school. college sports pretty much demands being a fan of someone outside of where you went to school when you consider there are only about 100 major colleges to cheer for. does that mean only alumni from those 100 schools can be college sports fans? that's absurd. my only take on the fraud essence is if you are adult and change your allegiance on a college team then you are a fraud. if all of a sudden you are a Duke fan or something then you are a fraud. start when you are younger and stay with your teams. cheering for the current hot commodity that you didn't cheer for before makes you a fraud.

    i think if i were a drexel fan or something he wouldn't give a shit. :think: :lol:

    also agree with not changing teams....however i do think it's fraudulent for someone to become a duke (or any other popular winning team) fan at a young age with no affiliation and no home town-ness involved too.

    but there are a lot more gray areas to college sports.
