I find it so odd that people can be intensely vocally supportive of a particular professional team from their home area, when it's just a bunch of sportsmen from all around mixed up to come below a salary cap, and has nothing to do with their geographic location at all.

I guess it's the same as brand worship, something else that doesn't resonate with me. I've bought good products from particular brands, but the brand doesn't in itself matter to me at all, only the particular product I'm interested in.
