re: "Picking" your favorite club

Now if you truly are a genuine fan and that fandom came about organically, rather than just picking a cool team with sweet unis or something similar, then I'm not talking to you.
How do you draw that line? What is an acceptable path to fandom for you? Are there certain things, on a checklist or something, that must be accomplished in order to achieve true fandom?
I mean obviously if people "like the way a team plays" and "root" for them but then abandon said team when players/managers change then of course they aren't a real fan. But what about those who picked, or got "picked", and have stayed with the team over the course several years through multiple player/manager/style changes?
I just am not following the difference between what you, and some others, deem acceptable and what is "fake, fanboy, wanna be diehard bull shite".

This is what I'm getting at. Ultimately who the frick cares?

First off, frick you.
Ok. I started this thread just to see how many of you guys were like me that don't have one club you follow exclusively. I didn't mean for it to come across like I'm questioning anyone's love for their team. But I guess I kind of did just that with my last post so my bad.
Everyone of us has a unique story of how we became fans. Because of the fact that soccer wasn't nearly as accessible in America years ago like it is today, it's obviously not engrained in our culture like it is in Europe or South America or wherever. It's sort of an advantage we have because we can follow the sport in whatever way we choose, rather than being handcuffed to a shitty club just because of where you and your family and friends grew up. Whether that means choosing a favorite team or having several, interchangeable favorites, we have that choice.
