Colts Vikings
Is it weird that i'm a Colts, Falcons, Vikings, Giants and Pats fan all at once?
In high school i was a Vikings fan as Sophmore. Then i was a Falcons fan as a junior and i liked how fast Vick was. Then i liked the Pats, because i bet on them in 2 of their 3 Superbowl wins haha, cuz my friend was an Eagles fan:)) I became a Colts fan direct after they beat the Ravens, cuz i was like 100% sure the Ravens would win the SB that year and was even more impresses when they came back from a 21-3 deficit to win 38-34 against the Pats. And i became a Giants fan direct after the Giants lost that 38-35 Game everybody wanted to see against the Pats and got their rematch in the Superbowl. Now, can i like 5 teams all at once??
I appreciated you giving some background information to clarify your question.
From this, I can see why you made your statement -- your definition of "fan" is far different than that of most people. Apparently, all it takes is for a team to do one thing you like, and bingo! You become a fan.
The problem is that if you wait long enough, you will eventually become a fan of every single team in the league, because ultimately they all will do something impressive.
For most people, becoming a fan of a particular team are for much deeper, stronger reasons than the ones you gave. (Did you know the word "fan" comes from the same root word as "fanatic"?) The loyalty is so intense that if you identify with one team (for example, the Patriots) then by default you cannot be a fan of other teams (like the Colts). For this reason, as you suspect, many people are not only going to find it strange that you identify with 5 teams, but the specific teams you listed all at one time.
I'm not saying you need to change. I am saying that most fans will not consider you a TRUE fan of their team, and you'll either have to narrow your list, or learn to put up with some derogatory remarks.
