I was sitting in my lecture today and we were discussing why people get a connection to a team and why do they support them. Nearly everyone in the room said they support the Brisbane Broncos because that is where they are from. Which got me thinking... Are people who live out of town more passionate supporters of their team.
I say this because I live in Brisbane and I know alot of guys who love league and support the broncos, but only a few who are as passionate as me about their team. If they lose or winning they don't seem to get effected by it. They just carry one with the broncos. However if the Sharks lose I can feel Angry, Depressed, upset, frustrated or all of them at once in a big mixed up emotion. I have never been to the shire, I support this team cause I liked to watch them when the likes of Mat rogers, Et, Dykes and Peachey running around, never was I told " You have to go for this team because you live here" So what all this mumble jumble means is.. Is a passion you grow for a team bigger than one you are forced in to? Or Am I just to passionate?
