Being a native Nashvillian, when the Titans came to town, I switched from being a Chiefs follower (mainly due to D Thomas playing for them in my younger days). Didn’t switch for the Grizzlies though because frick Memphis

I've switched teams but let me explain. I grew up in New Orleans as a Cubs fan for the same reason other people born there are Cubs fans. I moved out to San Diego 7 years ago and I started going to games and followed the Padres closely and now am more of a fan of the Padres. Now was I truly a fan of the Cubs that I am for the Saints, of course not but I was their fan. So I think someone can change teams if they didn't grow up in the town the team was in.

I’d fall into this category. I just casually root for the teams wherever I’m living.
It’s always been hard for me to feel any attachment to pro teams, but if you lived in the same city for most of your life, I guess I can understand it.

Total and complete bullcrap !!!
I grew up watching football with my oldest brother. Da aints & the Dolphins. My bro didn't really like that I liked Miami. I was one of the biggest aints fans for a long time -like you better not bad mouth my boys! So many years of having the lead over everybody and then lose,having George Roger's lead the league in rushing offense and can't get it done. Bobby Hebert and Eric Martin picking teams apart with the short passing game moving the ball at will- but can't get it done. I lost so much $$$ on em over the years,they're the reason I have stomach & heart problems today. So ,many years ago I realized da aints would never be worth a damn and dropped their pitiful asses. Hell, Tulane used to have more banners hanging in the rafters than da aints. So, yea I CANT STAND EM !

I wouldn’t blame Chargers or Rams fans for changing over the last few years

Used to be a Titans “fan” then switched to the Falcons. Then sat there and thought am I really a fan of either of these teams?
The answer is no. Hard to get attached to a NFL team for me.

Or, have moved. My grandfather when I knew him was a die-hard Bears fan. He grew up in Akron, OH and Detroit, MI. But, by the time I knew him, he had lived in the Chicago area for 35 years. And, by the time he died 80% of his life he had been a resident of the Chicago area.
Not all that uncommon to live your entire childhood in one state, and your entire adulthood in another.
You can grow up a die hard Saints fan, but if you graduate college, move to Seattle - and stay there, without even trying you'll pick up on the atmosphere of all of the people in your neighborhood bar cheering on the Seahawks.
After about a decade your Seahawk memories will start to outnumber your Saint memories. You'll meet a girl at a tailgate or at a bar that's from a die-hard family. You have money now, where you didn't as a kid - so you can afford tickets now, and all of a sudden you know Seahawks stadium inside and out.
