There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a homer. Being a homer, as a sports fan, is what people should strive for actually. Civic pride.
But yeah I remember talking about you moving around and stuff. I get it.www.myspace.com0 -

No knock on someone like Tempo switching allegiances / rooting for new teams having moved around a lot, nor do I care if someone simply chooses to root for a team from another city... to each his own... but how homer came to have a negative connotation is beyond me. (If I had to guess, it's probably a byproduct of sports media BS)0 -

To me a homer is the person that roots for their team and still thinks they are the best and everybody sucks... They see no bad in the team.

I guess I just infer "roots for the home team" when I hear homer.
It's not as if someone who roots for a team from another city isn't capable of the same level of fanaticism. (seeing no bad in the team they root for that is)0 -

My glimmer of hope is 2 things, Arte sells soon and those 22 pitchers they drafted come to something. Oh yeah and a full season where Rendon, Trout and Ohtani are all healthy, so 3.0 -

Westfall giving Kate Smith flowers was my first Isles memory. Didn't work but back then to come from behind 3-0 games against the Pens and almost do it again against the Flyers, all in their 3rd season as a franchise, wow!
And who knew what I was in five, six, seven and eight years later. Coulda been four and nine years as well!0 -
