As a non-sports fan, this is how I’ve always watched sports (which is infrequently). Choosing a side never made sense to me. The players on the teams change often, they aren’t usually from the geographical area that the team is homed in. What is there to root for besides the name and colors, especially when people root for a team from a place they’ve never been before? I would rather just appreciate the impressive displays of athleticism, regardless of team membership.
