Club Support Question

[Catfish]

Is it wrong, insane, bold, or ok to change one's support for a LESS successful club? You know the opposite of gloryhunting.

You could apply it to any league.

Just curious.

I'd say that's generally okay, but I'd question changing the support of a club anytime. If you love a club, you won't really be finding other clubs to choose -- i.e., it doesn't seem really genuine to "choose" a club to be a fan of. But if you are going to do that, I think its more honorable to choose a club that isn't guaranteed to win every match. It makes it more fun too, since you actually have emotions besides elation and superiority.

Very good points, of course what else would I expect from a fellow Chicagoan!

I guess that must have happened to you when you stepped down and became a Celtic supporter instead of a Gers supporter! :D
