Fanhood

I love almost everything about football. But I can't understand how fans can hate a team. At work today, I heard many people say they were rooting for Arizona just because they are Cincinnati fans and hated Pittsburgh. Hatred is a strong feeling. I can't grasp how a person can hate an organization or player when they most likely have never even come into contact with them. James Harrison may have hurt your feelings when tackling a Bengal, but he never did anything to specifically target one of these haters.

I posted on my Facebook Status today something good about the Steelers, and a friend of mine told me to trade in my Bengals jersey because I'm not a true Bengals fan. If hating someone I've never met is a necessity to being a fan, I won't cheer anymore. I'll just enjoy the game, no matter who is playing.
