Seriously, my next door neighbor growing up fits that exact scenario. I want to know if I need to tell him he can not be a Broncos fan. This surprises me considering the neighbors you had... Remember, where you come from you're the fast kind.. I feel people can be a fan of anyone they want as long as they stay true to that team. No bandwagon fans. Im not the one saying they cant. You are talking about someone that played for a team. Maybe you should ask this question to hitch, since he feels that there are "attendance" requirements to be a fan

A guy can not buy a business and run that business after he is done playing pro football, then retire back to his hometown? Has nothing to do with the guy running a business... Has everything to do with an NFL player from your hometown. Talk about busting balls... actually there are more than a handful.

Do you have to attend or have attended a college to be a fan? Do you have to live in or be from the town you are a fan of (professional team)? running a business has nothing to do with it

running a business was referencing mox's comment about the small town in South Texas with no professional football team. He does not think that any former professional athletes other than soccer could be from there.

I feel like you want me to say yes so that you can go on a rant validating your point. So in an effort to give your life meaning;
YES.

Be a fan of whomever you want, I couldn't give two phooks. However, if you never attended said university, don't say WE when you are talking about your team. BETTER?

He said something about Mayfield not starting like,"I hope we don't get embarrassed sitting him out. We might need to put him in pretty fast." I asked him if that will be his or Lincoln's call. He wasn't happy.

And to answer you AC, I personally don't give a care about anything dealing with pro-sports. I laugh at the kids in the hall throwing down good money on the flavor of the month. I think some people really do change their minds. I used to be a huge Cowboy's fan. Now I could care less(except if they are playing the Redskins or Eagles).

I’m not a pro sports fan either and I say “we” as well. I understand that some people don’t agree with it. But that’s my team. Ride or die

I've never really been an NFL fan, I used to like the Houston Oilers but that died, never got excited about a pro football team as far as i can remember. Now as far as college ball, Tech and then the sh1ttiest team in the NCAA Texas State are who I pull for, I will also support A&M but have never been able to get on the UT bandwagon probably because I used to hear my aunts talk trash about A&M during the old rivalry even though they went to SWT.

One year they argued the reason they supported UT was because that is where my grandfather went. Later that year they are pulling for someone else over A&M because their friend went there. My little sister was going to school at A&M at the time and replied something along the lines, "I guess the blood is thin in your house."
