    I'm not really a hockey fan but I grew up in Columbus, so I was originally "on" the blue jackets....when they went out, I got on the pens...now, they look like shit so I'm thinking oilers.

    It all depends on the ferocity of your rooting.  If you are fully adopting the team and publicly boasting, and numerous 'look at me' posts on social media.... then it is lame.  If you are watching with a rooting interest for entertainment... it is fine.

    For me, it always seems to come down to rooting against teams, especially in the NHL and NFL.

    That's me for every sport. I wish I didn't care so damn much.

    Loosely related...the phrase, "Act like you've been there before." Probably the worst cliche/sports phrase of all time, especially when used by fans, right? Yeah, I thought so.

    I'd say "Good teams find a way to win" is the worst.  It's such a cop out.  Break the plays down, tell me why they worked. Tell me what both sides of the play are seeing? Tell me why it worked for one team and not the other. Give me the strategy, what each side is thinking in anticipation.  "Good teams find a way to win" is for dummies.

    And mostly used by fans who couldn't throw a spiral if their life depended on it.

    ^^^^^ Impressive form however I really don't see too many NFL fans switching over and becoming PATRIOT'S fans. They're probably THE most hated and despised team in SPORTS. Being a long-time Patriot/Beantown fan I once disliked the Steelers for the longest time, now I respect that organization in the way they do their winning ways.

    It doesn't mention about following your favorite player?  I switched loyalty to the Angels when Reggie left, when he spent his last year with the A's I did not switch again though.

    I am a firm believer that you don't have to be a homer...

    By rule, that would make you a fraud, sorry to say!

    You're from NY right? How did you become a fan of the Angels?
