the one with the players that play for the team that i have rooted for my whole life


But you haven’t rooted for any of these guys for more than 2 years, much less your whole life

If you owned a boat named West Coast Ag, and then you replaced every single piece of the boat in 6 months, is it still the same boat?

I look at it this way.

I own a boat. I finish my trip and thank the crew for a job well done. I now plan take take my ship on a new trip. I hire a new crew that is capable.

The crew on board changes but it’s still the same ship.

The players change but it’s still the Lakers.

Don't you mean, do you still like that boat? Yes, he will still like it.

Yes, it is still your boat. Just like how when your team replaces a player, a true fan generally doesn't jump ship.

Your user name is NawlinsTiger. If the Tiger is for LSU, how do you square this with thinking you can't be a fan if players constantly change? At LSU, players are always being completely replaced.

No, but that has nothing to do with your OP.


If you've had that boat your entire life and had a great many of awesome adventures during your life, you really don't know the answer is to the question of what is your connection to that boat?
