Why on earth would anyone be a fan of a certain team?

Hometown variance, man.

That's mainly it. But it's also more fun that way. If everyone just rooted for whoever kicked the most ass, it just wouldn't be very interesting.

For me, there's always my main teams, then some other teams I enjoy watching but that I wouldn't pledge much allegiance to. I'm a Boston sports fan, through and through (semi-hijack.. seriously GKA, change your avatar. He SUCKS), and I'd root for them over anybody. But there's always some other teams I enjoy to watch. With baseball, I've enjoyed the privilege of getting A's games on TV. In the NBA, I've really enjoyed watching the Pistons play. But if they're facing the Celtics, I root for the green, only to watch Doc not cover the inbounds pass.
