Yeah I get it totally. Completely different from switching
From your college team that you’ve cheered for since you were a kid to their arch rival.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand how you can switch team allegiances?

They are chumps who were probably never really fans in the first place and

It is impossible to switch. You can maybe add a team.

I should have done grad school someplace other that BYU to make this possible

If you were ever a real fan you could never really switch

I grew up a Raiders fan...when they left Oakland the first time I gave up on them

I’m fine with this. They left you, you didn’t leave them

I can only see this if you are a fan of a player and they switch teams.

So you were a Steve Young fan not a real 49ers fan

I'm a 49ers/Browns fan — but mostly I'm a BYU fan so BYU players often trump

Divorce happens I guess. Just not usually with fandom.

It’s bizarre. I can’t imagine someone who grew up a UCLA fan deciding 20 years ago switching to USC because USC

I guess if you thought UCLA had no chance to ever be competitive, went off on

Nope. I’d still call that fan a loser.

It’s like bad relationship. At some point you have to get out of it’s not

I can see this, but you don’t dump your wife for her closest friend (or enemy).

I don't get switching allegiances, but I do understand finding a second team.

Exactly. Who crosses over to the rival? A loser.

Yep. I've added pro teams based upon 30 years of residency.

I grew up in Utah, and my dad was a BYU fan, but he was much bigger Broncos fan.

I’m with you. Especially becoming a Utah fan after cheering for BYU. Spineless.
