    no

    who then?

    if there is someone exhibiting fraudulent tendencies on this forum it's better for all parties involved to just get it out in the open.

    Am I a fraud if I root for the Bobcats also because of Kemba Walker?

    i will agree that a lot of women do that, but i can't get mine to....she refuses to root for the Bulls, since she grew up a piston fan.

    I do agree with this to a certain extent. If you're with someone and they absolutely turn into you, that's just bad news. But in some instances, it just naturally happens. My hubby taught me all about the sport of football and took me to games and appreciated that I originally wasn't into it, but I grew to love it as I never really got into it at all before. He actually says that he created a monster because I seem to be more into it now than him. Does that make sense? He's totally into other sports, that to be honest I could just care less about. And don't get me started on our musical tastes - total opposites. So I don't think it's necessarily always a bad thing for a person make a change - as long as they are passionate about it and then stick with that team through thick and thin. Just my 2 cents!

    For the record - the first year I was a true Packer fan they went 4-12! Most of those wafflers woulda jumped right back on the Bears bandwagon after that!

    I'm guessing the Bears didn't have a bandwagon for you to jump back onto that year! I'm just assuming we were terrible that year.

    Look what I started here!

    Thanks for clearing it up. I tend to root for former UConn players as well.

    What are the FRAUD rules if you hail from a city with only 1 major sports team? Do you automatically root for the nearest franchise or what I have done is root for the teams that I played on as a youngster (little league)?
    NERDS!
