The issue of regional/national pride as it relates to sports.

[A Black Falcon]

No, you don't own the team, so you aren't a part of it and can't say "my team". Also, supporting one side against another is bad. You have to just say "yay" when someone makes a good play. Supporting one side over another is bad because when you do you dislike the other team and the supporters of the other team and disliking people just because of which sports team they support makes no sense.

DJ said stuff like that...

Now DJ, how about my comparisons to nations? How about when one is truly being bad? Or exploiting their position in ways that are blatantly unfair? How is that okay? How can you just say 'capitalism at work' and be fine with it? Do you extend that to nations? So it's fine for the US to throw its weight around as much as it wants and ignore everyone else because we are the winners so you should say "yay" for the things we do? Or if we lose you should say "yay" about the other people? Did you not mind when you heard that the North Vietnamese Communists beat us?

Now you will probably say 'but it's just a game' and you'd be right. It is just a game. But the comparisons are still valid! And I mean more than just the fact that people take sports team likes very far... I mean that you yourself said that you extend this policy of yours to all fields...

Oh, GR's analogy to supporting Nintendo is good too. You REALLY wouldn't care if Nintendo closed its hardware division and just made PlayStation games? That's insane for a Nintendo fan to say!
