[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5791995, member: 78357"] Your view assumes that everything is static, which it isn't. Fans of teams aren't always just fans of one team, just like fans of games aren't always fans of just one game. Teams and sports also gain and lose fans as success and play style change. Just to use the NFL, for example, there are fans that no longer watch it or care because the rules give a strong precidence to the offense, especially the pasing game. Another example: home team fans aren't always "home team" fans. Take Saint Louis, MO for example. The Cardinals were the "home team" for a number of years, then they move to AZ. Eventually the Rams moved to Saint Louis. Some fans stayed with the Cardinals as their favorite teams, others switched allegiances to the new home team. Then there's Florida. The Dolphins have been around for quite a while but in the early 70's the league expanded and put a team in Tampa Bay. It's not like the Dolphins fans all remained Dolphins fans instea dof changing allegiances to the new team, but at least they were in different conferences. Then in the mid-90s, the league expanded and put the Jaguars in Jacksonville, the same conference as the Miami Dolphins. And that's not even mentioning the numerous, successful college programs in the state also drawing legions of fans. And none of this takes in to account casual fans who like a sport in general but don't particularly care for any one particular team. [/QUOTE]
