Dual Allegiance: Can You Love Two Teams?

[jsnpritchett]

Of course you can.  Not sure why we need an article to debate the topic.     I grew up a Braves fan, but also fell in love with the Angels in 1981, and have been a fan ever since.  I still follow both teams avidly. 

 

Same with Georgia Tech and Duke when it comes to basketball.  I grew up loving the Jackets and hating the Blue Devils--but then once I actually went to Duke, things changed.     I now follow both teams. 

 

When my two "loves" play, I'm happy with the outcome regardless of who wins.

Amazed how many people on here admit to being bi.

[QuinlansMinion]

No you cant love two teams.  We call that bandwagoning. 

[gotbeer]

Of course you can.  Angels and Ducks.  

[Erstad Grit]

I love the Angels.......I have a thing with the Pirates on the side

[Hollyw00d]

I think Trolldaddy needs to weigh in on this.

I honestly thought he wrote the article

not enough bandwith

[QuinlansMinion]

Of course you can.  Angels and Ducks.  

Not in the same sport.  Youre telling me its okay to love the Angels and Dodgers?

[T.G.]

I pour a lot of time, money and emotion into the Angels... by the end of the year I'm pretty spent.  I can't imagine trying to do that with more than one team... but to each his own.  I might cheer for a team if a favorite Angel is traded there or ends up there through free agency, but it's not the same kind of devotion at all.

Yea im a fan of the Spurs,Seahawks,Giants, and Kings

 

 

NOT A BANDWAGON THO

I'm not sure that 20 years of season ticket ownership and 10 trips to spring training count as a bandwagon...just saying.

If the angels organization folded, would you still watch baseball?

no

[Hollyw00d]

It surprises me how many people here are angels fans only and not baseball fans. I guess you guys never grew up playing the game?

Afternoon Angel -- LET's PLAY TWO !!

 

Yes sir, Number 14.

[Hollyw00d]

I like the padres, but only because of their stadium. The actual team and organization is a joke

Theres a huge difference.  Being a fan of the sport is different from being a fan of a team.  I support the Angels because they are local and I have always watched them my whole life.

 

If there were no Angels I would still watch other teams on rare occasion but I would never watch the same amount of baseball that I do now.

[Ohtaniland]

I still love the EXPOS.

[Halonut]

Love...no, not in good conscious anyways. However, there are a group of baby boomers which I can give a pass. My father was born in Anaheim in 1946, when he was 11 years old the Dodgers came to LA. He had the pleasure of watching Koufax, Drysdale, Wills, Davis, etc but when the Angels moved to Anaheim in 66 he began to follow his hometown team. He loves the Halos but I still catch him tuning into the Dodger games and taking somewhat of an interest in them. I think listening to Vin Scully brings him back to his youth in a way.

guess again

I think you can root for a National league and an American League team. I like rooting for the Padres they are the underdog most of the time and it reminds me of the Angels throughout most of the teams existence.

I bleed Angels red!!!!

 

Mainly because it is the color of my blood.

Theres a difference between rooting for a team and loving them.
