Let’s say someone’s family was in the army, so they moved around a lot from birth, and they didn’t really have a ‘home,’ but they’re into sports—how do they choose their favorite team? Do they just decide to hold off until they move somewhere permanently, and then choose that city’s team as theirs?
Generally speaking, people tend to pick teams or athletes you can relate to … In my case for example, I chose to cheer for Sir Lewis Hamilton in the F1 series, even tho I’ve only ever visited Britain, I learnt about his career and his “rag to riches” story and all that his parents sacrificed for him to become the champ resonated with me.
