Jack - Sports teams are part of a community. Civic leaders mention this all the time when lobbying for a state sponsored sporting venue. We feel like community when we go in person to a sporting event and share in the jubilation and heartbreak of our team's fortunes. Rooting for a team outside of your geography is like rooting for France just because you don't like George Bush.
