Do you really have to root for the home team instead of another city’s team?

Where I grew up had no pro sports teams, so I couldn't if I wanted to. My dad and grandpa had teams from where they grew up and I just kinda got raised to root for those teams. It's the only way I had any kind of connection to any. But I don't watch that much sports anyway so I really don't lose sleep over any of it.

In the US, not so much. But everywhere else, yes

You definitely don’t have to root for the home team 😊

Fans pick teams for lots of reasons: a favorite player, family tradition, a team’s style, or even a special memory watching them. I grew up in one city but idolized players from another, especially in tennis and basketball.

Loyalty matters more than location. If you stick with your team through highs and lows, you’re a real fan ❤️🏟️
