- It's always more fun to have a rooting interest (for or against) in a game or series. - Stephen Oct 23, 10:56
- I have always been a Yankees fan! (the 'not me' nm) - ty97 Oct 23, 10:42 1
  - heh. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 10:42

- I haven't watched any of the playoffs this year. I also haven't watched a non-PSU college fball game in two years. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 23, 10:40
- it helps to have a player, or team you like, to get emotionally invested in the game. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 10:38
- I think a lot of people stop watching when the team they root for is eliminated from contention. - Krusty Oct 23, 10:38 27
  - [deleted] 26
    - Oh, that makes no sense at all. He's just looking for a team to root for. But you can't claim to be a Yankee fan and then pull for the Sox to win a - Krusty Oct 23, 10:43 3
      - I am a White Sox fan, but if the Cubs ever make a World Series, I will root for them to win. - groiny Oct 23, 10:44 1
        
        Ha! :-) I'd root for the Mets if they were in the Series. - Krusty Oct 23, 10:46

        it is not possible to be a Yankees fan, and not HATE the Red Sox? -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 10:48 15
        
        Sure but you can't root for them to win. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 10:50 7
        
        I did. I was tired of hearing about their effing curse. I'm a Cardinals fan who would root for the Cubs if the Cards were eliminated and they weren't, - mara Oct 23, 10:54 1
        
        I get that. Being a Cards fan with all those rings makes it easier to root for the Cubs to finally get over that hump. - Krusty Oct 23, 10:57
        
        why? the Yankees did not make the playoffs. - groiny Oct 23, 10:51 4
        
        They're one of our biggest rivals. You don't root for them to win. - Krusty Oct 23, 10:54 1

        some root for the league, where they are an AL or NL fan because their team plays there. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 10:50 5
        
        My father was like that. He'd root for the NL team when the Mets were eliminated. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 10:52 2
        
        and frankly, I think there is a small % that will root for Boston because of the bombing. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 10:53 1

- It's heartbreaking to go to the shelter. :-( - Krusty Oct 23, 10:33
- even a no kill shelter has to put down a lot of animals for health reasons. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 10:32 6
  - Right, and I get that, but it sounded to me like they also put down the ones that don't get adopted within a certain amount of time. - kelly Oct 23, 10:41 5
    - i try to encourage people whenever possible to adopt adult cats. kittens grow up anyway. - Paranormal Anditivity Oct 23, 10:44 3
      - Yeah. The woman I was speaking to knew I wouldn't be adopting a cat due to allergy issues, but she looked shocked when I said that if I could adopt - kelly Oct 23, 10:53
