BlazerSlayer 434 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Why would anyone change their team? If I reached a point of enough with Falcons, I would just drift away from NFL, not find someone else. Boise Falcon Fan, Goal2Go, Herr Doktor and 8 others 9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PriMeTiiMe 8,544 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) How does one just switch teams? I could see myself getting sick of the NFL product we see and stop watching altogether but I can't see myself changing who my support is for.

Maybe you should've checked with one of us lifers before you decided on the Falcons as your new choice. But yeah, we here all are in the same boat and none of us seem inclined to jump out and try to swim for shore. God only knows why.

I could see myself getting sick of the NFL product we see and stop watching altogether but I can't see myself changing who my support is for. I was born in Tampa but moved here by choice 15 years ago. I never got Dish or anything so barely got Bucs games anymore and just started watching Falcons games out of convenience. I grew dissatisfied with the losing and ineptitude and garbage Tampa fans but drafting Jameis Winston fully pushed me away.

Not sure you will see another though so strap in and prepare for future disappointment. Summerhill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Burn all of your old stuff? Hold a ceremony? Does your old team formally denounce you, like the pope to a corrupt priest?? Now I’ll be trying to figure this out all afternoon instead of working.

So you switched just in time to be on the wrong side of the biggest SB comeback ever, and then the QB that aced out the Falcons in SB 51 guides your old team to a title.
