Miami Heat "Fans"

One thing I have noticed a lot lately. Is that many fans, aren't really "team" fans these days. And that bugs me. When a player leaves a team. A small portion of their fan base goes with them. I am a Laker fan, and when Shaq left people asked me who I was gonna side with Kobe or Shaq.

Those Kind of questions shouldn't come up. Pick a team and stick with them, I say. But for some reason. I see more and more people walking around with Lebron Jerseys from the heat. and Wade jerseys... and Proclaiming how they can't wait to pick the Heat in 2k11. That is all well n' good. But how many of these people were actually Heat fans a year ago? I'm blessed my home town Lakers are a great team and win on a consistent basis.

And it doesn't take long for them to rebuild either. But if I was a Cleveland Fan, just because Lebron left. Doesn't mean i would follow him to Miami too. But that is just my 2 cents.

@blackout863 and @Dalsanto0026:

I am glad to see there are heat fans out there like you. I still find it amazing to see how many people have just switched sides cause of a bunch of players. It is amazing.

My belief is, Fans like you guys deserve what is happening to your team now. You waited patiently for years for your team to get good. Now ever since Wade came to the league you guys finally experienced success for the first time in a long time. And now with this, You guys definitely deserve it.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.

For those who just decide to go from one contender to the next because a favorite player hops over to a different team. I don't feel they deserve much because it is easy to root for a contender every year. If the Lakers ever do fall into a slump like other teams even though it will suck. I will be right there to root them on.

Another Friend asked me if LA ever got a football team would my loyalty to the cowboys finally end. I thought about it for all of 3 seconds before I had my answer. Even though it would be great to have a LA team...All that means is when the cowboys come to that stadium...i'll get to see my favorite team play...and it wont be the hometown team...
