Cmv: cheering for the country or city that your from in sports events is no different than cheering for a team based on their skin colour.:
You have no control over what city or country you're from like you have no control over what colour your skin is. It seems silly to me to cheer for somebody simply because of where they're from and not how they play. 

Example: Im Canadian (so will obviously use hockey), Montreal Canadiens are the only Canadian team left in the Stanley cup race. Almost everybody I know has started cheering for them simply because they are the Canadian team left in the race. 

I feel the same for people passionately cheering for a team for their whole life. I find it closes the individuals mind to how good another team could be performing and pass it off as luck when really it's just their blinding biased.
