YO! Follow me for a second... I'm from an "expansion city." I was almost 7 before I saw my first professional team come to Charlotte. I playedTecmo Bowl back in the day and won my first game with San Fran. I was a Niners fan from that point on... Well, the Panthers come to town. And I was still aNiner fan. Back in the days when the Panthers were in the NFC West, when the two teams met... I'd just be neutral. In recent years, York had the Ninersheaded south and the Panthers were a field goal away from a ticker tape parade down Tryon St. I was watching the two teams play today and really didn'tgive a damn who won. Which leads me to this:
The other night, me and my homeboy were at TGIFriday's watching the Dal/GB game. And as Cowboys fans started celebrating, my friend leaned over and says"don't worry. It'll be the Niners' time again." So I had this thought... say for instance the Panthers were to win the Super Bowl oneyear. And the following year, the Niners won. Am I not to be respected as a true fan if I enjoy each team's successes equally? Do I have to choose at somepoint?
