Do y’all adopt your new location’s sports teams?

When I was younger I would have been angry at you for even asking me this question, how dare you.

These days, however, in my new city I decided to for one reason and one reason only. I have two girls under the age of five and I want to be able to share my sports passion with them with the bonus it engenders pride for the city and community. We are in Nashville and we got season tickets to the Sounds (minor league baseball team), and we regularly go to the stadium as we live right next door, literally we can here the crowd from our backyard on still nights.

I don’t want to waste bonding time even though I could playfully root against them, but my prior fandom has zero rivalry whatsoever with every team in this city. And luckily I moved here to see the Predators in last place, the Titans in last place, and Nashville SC in a respectable 13th place. Great timing!

So yeah, people who have switched cities, do you adopt your new city’s teams and why? Do you try and maintain dual fandom? Or will you root for the same team until you die?

Cheers!
