I don’t understand how a guy lives 36 years in Chicago and is still a Cardinals fan. For me, much of the fun in sports is rooting for the home team. If one lives in a market without one, then fine, choose who you like. I was a Dodgers fan until my family moved to Houston. I had never lived in a city with major leage sports. It took a few years, but I became an Astros fan since the early 70’s. If I moved to a different city with a major league team, I’d eventually get into the spirit and root for my new home team.
Which is why I have adopted the Diamondbacks... but, since they're National League and my Mariners are American League, I can root for both since the odds of them meeting in the World Series are next to zero...
My son, is a Stiller fan {for over 50 years} lives in Annapolis, MD, is surrounded by redskin and little black bird fans and will never waver.
Being a real fan doesn't change because you move to a different city.
Does Houston really have pro sport teams?

What a strange thing to say. I grew up in Chicago and have been a Cubs fan my whole life. Now I live in CT. See you seriously suggesting I become a Yankees fan or a Mets fan?
