Can someone explain why black people should root for teams instead of players?

Being neutral>>Being a fan.

There's a lot of truth to this. I'm a die hard Bills fan and when I was younger and they were good, all I could see was red and blue. Now that they suck I can peep the rest of the league and enjoy the unbiased view and just appreciate some good football, regardless of who's playing.

Its nice that you trying to justify bandwagoning to urself...but u still look like a bandwagoning fakkit in the eyes of others. This line of reasoning sounds real womanly too...ol riding for a player cause u like his hair ass nikkas

Nah breh...that is not equal. You mentally befriended lebron james. You dont know him dog, just accept it.

What's the difference between stanning a team and stanning Bron?

Why do you care if your team wins the football game? You don't know anybody on the team, they have nothing to do with you, so why do you cheer for them?

Personally, I think the whole "die-hard fan" thing is just breeding irrational jingoism in people :yeshrug:

so in other words, you are a bandwagoner

just come out and say it how it is, no need to sugarcoat

There's some valid points in here but the one thing everyone is forgetting.. without the loyal fanbases in every city that show up to the games.. the league wouldn't be profitable and therefore, wouldn't exist.

the average "die hard" fan of these teams is a fat, uncoordinated, funny looking fukk.

who cares if you look like a "fakkit" in their eyes?

im still waiting for someone to explain why blacks should ignore the injustices committed by these teams and still pledge their loyalty to them.

i've already said bandwagoning is bytchmade. rooting for players over teams isn't bandwagoning though,

when you go to the store are you loyal to products or do you pick the best quality?

sports is no different IMO

consumers should have no loyalty

:what: This doesn't even make sense. Can you read?

You must have gone to Kensington HS. :snoop:

naw i went to bennett :sadcam:

but u pretty much said as the bills got shytty you started turning to new teams . there aint nothing wrong with liking more than one team...but showing less support for your squad due to their lack of success is the definition of bandwagoner

if the bills were still doing it like they were in the early 90's would ya still be seeing "red white and blue"?

The league would still exist, just certain franchises who don't care to improve will not be profitable and will cease to exist.

These leagues don't care about the fans, why do you think they move teams from city to city because it's based on a franchise model. Wherever the $$$$$$$ is what's important to the league. The whole notion of supporting your hometown team is just to get loyalty from the consumer. Teams don't even have to improve because they know their fans are going to stay loyal and committed..there's no incentive to get better.
