Reply #24: Having Politicial tiffs

[AmericanErrorist]

with your favorite football team is hard. What is the ESPN ads say? (Not the brilliant "This is SportsCenter" campaign...) Sports is supposed to be a common unifier, and loyalty to a team is something that trumps politics, because while debates about politics is grounded in facts, debate between two fans of rival sports clubs is based in emotion, mostly. (Even though factual debate about sports is now popular thanks to PTI and its ilk)

Now you have tiffs with the Paterno family. Is this any reason to quit loving the lions? Perhaps. Anyway, the passion is gone. You may try to repeat the same things with any other team. Perhaps you would be better off rooting for no one in particular.

You can have a unique perpective by just watching the D-I football season as a fan of the sport. Reserve your hometown passion for UDel.
