LOL ^^^^^ Didn't the Lions win something back in the leather helmets days when the NFL consisted of the Packers, the Bears, The Cardinals, The Browns, The Giants, The Redskins, and the Eagles?

Falcons since Age 10. Uncle put me on. Took me to my first game when the Dome was brand new. Plus Prime Time was my favorite football and baseball player, lol. Grew up around nothing but Cowboys and bandwagon Niner fans so another reason I repped the Falcons was to be different.

Got clowned most of my years in school for it, but it paid off when they went to the Super Bowl the same year I graduated High school.

Braves since about age 10. Uncle put me on again. Took me to my first game at Fulton County. Chipper Jones was a rookie when I went to my first Bravo game. My last Bravo game was last year which was his last year.

Sooners since about the same time I learned how to walk and read. Same uncle. I survived the "Great Depression" of the 1990s as a Sooner fan and was rewarded a championship in 2000 and about 8 conference titles after that. Which is why I laugh at nikkas trying pop shit about a 10-win Sooner team today when I repped them nikkas when we were lucky to win 5 or 6.

Plus I personally have close friends and relatives that played ball there. The best player on their 2002 Final Four Bball squad was one of my best childhood friends, Two of my high school football coaches played there and won championships there, etc, etc. It's more than just "I'm from Oklahoma so...." Nah. I rep a program.

Thunder since 2009 when I went to my first Thunder game. Uncle didn't live to see the Thunder's existence, but I took my nephews to their first NBA game in OKC (and their first NFL game - Falcons.)

In '08 I was kinda salty that my Home state which is a football state got a NBA team before a NFL team, but my first OKC game in Chesapeake was the wildest experience I thought I could ever have around thousands of middle-age white people. My ears were ringing for 2 weeks and they weren't even a playoff team that year.

Unfortunately, I'm not as influential to my nephews as my Unc was with me. lol.

I also fancy myself an honorary, and proud bandwagoner of the Brazil Women's Olympic volleyball team.

God bless them long, bad azz bishes.

hear you dude. One of the things that annoys me about the [color=]A's[/color] is management, going back to Finley acts like we're an expansion team that was established in Oakland in 1968. The A's have an illustrious history that goes back to days of the Philadelphia Athletics. Connie Mack put together what was the first dynasty in professional sports. One hundred years ago, we three-peated from '11-13 then we won the the Series in '29 and '31. The '29 A's are arguably the best team in history MLB. Unfortunately Connie Mack would always break up the championship teams, this was in the days of the reserve clause when players stayed with a team until the owner sold or traded them off. We have several HoFers from those Philly teams, but when you go to the Coliseum, the only acknowledgement that we were ever in Philly are the championship tarps with the years we won the Series. No acknowledgement to Connie Mack even though he was the color=blue]Athletics[color] for there first forty-nine years, no retired numbers from any Philly HoFer, hell we just recently retired Reggie Jackson and Rickey Henderson's jersey numbers, then there's the stadium issue, but that's another issue for another day.

Florida State Fan since I was 10

Heat fan since 03

I aint gon lie I did switch my NFL team. I was Raider fan growin up cause pops was a Raiders fan. I started liking the Colts in '99 and stuck with em since...
 
LSU and N.O. Saints fan since I could remember.

Funny thing is in my family it was damn near blasphemy to even speak of LSU over Southern, Grambling, NLU, or La Tech.

I was groomed from birth to being a Cowboys and Steelers fan. So I have sentimental items that was given to me by family members of said teams but I don't root for them.

Boston Red Sox fan since finally being able to watch something other than Braves games on TBS. First game was the Red Sox and Yankees. That was around 91??? Somewhat of a Giants fan but that was only because the Minor league team was in Shreveport. In the end, I am more of a Braves fan. I admit to not being a real fan of baseball though.

Grew up a Lakers fan, but watched Bulls games cause that was the only thing my family would watch. Yes I damn near teared up in 91. Converted to a Hornets/Pelican fan when the team moved. Baron Davis nearly made me stop watching.

I am watching more soccer but I haven't started rooting for a team yet. More of a MLS fan but some of those games look like NCAA women teams. They passing is horrid.
