Braves fan. I'm not a fan of the city of Atlanta, just the braves. They could move to North Dakota for all I care.

No. Love the Saints with all my heart, but I'd have turned in my fan card in a flash had Benson moved them to SA...which means I would have to become a Texans fan

Nope. If the Saints, Pelicans, Astros moved. I would be out. Part of what makes me a fan is the passion I had for them growing up (minus the Pelicans). And now that I have relocated, my passion is even greater because it connects me to my home.

It's the connection to my roots that fuel my passion for my teams. Which is why I don't understand how random Cubs, Heat, 49ers fan would care where there teams move.

Really depends upon how it happens. But, yeah, I'd have a hard time rooting against the players on the team now. Once they were gone, though, frick it.

unless it was something like the Cowboys moving from one part of DFW to another (Irving to Arlington) the answer is no.

No. I'd be curious for a few years

If the Edmonton Oilers relocated to say Seattle I would cheer for them even more. Maybe it would fix the upper management issue

As long as none of my teams move to Oxford, Ms or tuscaloosa, Al, I think I would be ok.

When did you all root for them to begin with?
