Did you at least go to school there? Or are you another t-shirt fan?
I'm not going to root for a football or baseball team that isn't local. So that leaves Royals and Chiefs (I liked the Cardinals/loved the Royals until spending 8 years living around Cardinals fan at Mizzou/in St. Louis. Still like and respect the team, but hate their t-shirt, front-runner fans. Note: This does not include all fans or passionate fans, with whom I enjoy talking baseball.)
And I'm certainly going to root for my alma mater in college sports. Guys that have "secondary" teams or that root for a team other than their alma mater are front runners. And I'd rather not watch sports than be that (that's what was ingrained in me by my family, my dad included. I'm a 4x legacy graduate of Mizzou).

I'm an alum. And yes, everyone roots for their school obv. My point on that was there are many regional choices on where to attend college or who to root for....but only 1 choice for MLB or NFL. You and I were born into that mess no doubt. It's very frustrating.
The Royals are my favorite team and its my favorite pro sport which makes it worse. For those on the board who marginally follow them it's not that annoying but for me at least, I can't fathom why we suck for decades on end. The laws of probability would make this run of suck hardly do-able.
