I only have to answer when I encounter Americans while wearing my Trotter jersey (and I have had it since before he went to the (NC-17)'s). In fact I would not be surprised if I had the only Trotter jersey in the country.

A majority of Eagle fans that I met are true blue, die-hard fans. Even out here in Hawaii. No band wagoneers. My family is from Hawaii but I was born in Gladwyne while my father was working in Camden for Campbell Soup. We moved back here when I was just about a year old. I tell people that little tid-bit and they understand my passion. Been a diehard since 1971 when I was 9 years old. My first jersey I ever owned I bought with my dad at JC Penny. It was a #18 Ben Hawkins. It didn't have his name on it but it was the days when Penny's used to sell NFL gear. I actually bought the the old white with green wings helmet at Penny's. I loved that thing. Hardest part growing up for me was that my best freind was a die-hard Cowboy fan. He was actually pretty cool about it. He's a USC grad so the Trojans encompass his whole life now. I am not kidding.

I explain that all time the time. Annoying as hell.

Plus people ask me why im an Astros fan too. "oh you like them because they were in 1st place for a bit last year"
........no.

Yeah, I had to "explain" myself one time at the sports bar in ATL during the NFCCG last year. Moloko9 can tell you all about it, I'm sure.

I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY (right outside of BUF), and once this Falcon fan I was arguing with got hold of that, he was calling me a bandwagoner left and right. He challenged me to name 5 Eagles that were playing before McNabb got drafted. When I named off (at the top of my lungs) about 15-20 and counting... without taking a breath, he came off of that garbage and said that I was really a Bills fan. That's a sore spot since I can't stand the Bills... so before long, we were in each other's face, jawing at each other for a good while... which kinda sucked cuz I really had to piss... which was the whole reason I walked by the guy in the first place.

Pretty much since that scene... I haven't had to explain why I'm an Eagles fan.

Man.. you have NO idea. EVERYONE here is from somewhere else. Of course, it was a homegrown Georgia idiot I was dealing with that day though.

I say, "What Eagles?" and I immediately start to masturbate. That usually throws them off. Usually.

Everyone is a hypocrite in life including me. I say if you are a fan of a team and don't have ties to the city you are a fraud. Doesn't include Philly fans though because we're on the same team.

If you are a Cowboys fans from San Fran though, then you are a total fraud, and you can't ever be a true die-hard fan.

"You're not a real fan" arguments are gay in both real life and on the Internet, whether the subject is sports, music, movies, whatever. Gayer than men having anal sex with other men.

Wow. That's pretty gay.
