Some of our American based posters might be best placed to shed a bit more light on this, @burchmackem, @NYMackem, @njmackem etc...
With your various sports, franchises, conferences, teams moving across country etc - Do Americans actually get it? Are they just sports fans, or do they have supporters?
Take for instance when the Dodgers left Brooklyn - what the frig happened to their fans? Did they even have any? Were people upset?
More recently the Raiders have bounced from Oakland, to LA, back to Oakland, and now reside in a swanky new stadium in Las Vegas. This is a team with 3 Superbowls to it's name. Have all their fans bounced along with them? The ever faithful cross the Sierra Nevada every other week to cheer them on?
Do season ticket holders exist? Would Phase 3 ever be a thing?
Do grown men cry when success/abject failure rears it's head in the post-season?
Do fathers pass their loyalties onto their sons?
Are weekends completely ruined when their team loses?
Do they care?
