I was born in STL and most all my family is there. I like the Cardinals, but I would cheer for the Rays 100% of the time if they played the Cardinals. I grew up a Blues fan but adopted the Lightning when I realized that I live in Tampa and not St Louis.
My fiancé was a Sabres fan until she moved here 12 years ago. She's now a diehard TB fan.
It's just absurd to see people wear other teams stuff, shit talk the Tampa team, and then drive home to their residence in the Tampa area. All because they, or someone they know, lived in that city 15 years ago.
