So when I move to San Diego, do I have to start rooting for the Padres, or can I still call myself a Phillies/Eagles/76ers fan? 
(Keep in mind I have no interest in sports whatsoever, I was just in a weird mood today and wanted to see the reaction I got from the thread title.)

Omigod, for a minute I thought you were taking up Vanilla’s offer . . .
You can route for whatever sport team you want, but it is against local ordinances to call yourself a queer in San Diego 
Go Pads! I’m so jealous! I want to go back to SD!
You may still call yourself a Phillies/Eagles/76ers fan, but the question is, why the Hell would you want to?
You’re coming to SD?!? YAY! San diego needs more intelligent people.
I say you can call yourself whatever fan you’d like. perhaps a lovely chinese fan, or an oscillating fan, or an exhaust fan…(ran out of types of fans)
I’m sure I’ll run into you at Diedrich’s coffee in hillcrest when you get here.

Wow Esprix, your so easy going about switching teams (not that I know a lot about switching teams 
).
BTW, Esprix, do you pronounce your name Es-prics or Es-pree?
I know what you mean, I tried padding my count in SD for awhile too, I kinda miss it.
::ducks rotten veggies::
How 'bout some fruit? Mix it up a bit!
Dude, dont even play like that! Or else i might have to do something really really mean like um…something…or whatever.
That was truly weird.
No, I never thought for a second he would turn straight, but I wonder are you allowed to use a subject word for word thats already been used? Isn’t there a LAW?
I have to ask…Where do the Flyers fit into the equation?
You CANNOT be serious. You want to root for a last place team when the first place team is only a couple hours drive away?
Note: I am biased.
Esprix, you must make the drive up for the next Bay Area Dopefest. We’d love to meet you.
Upon reading the subject line, I’d had the same reaction as did Eve.
: should have known better :
And such wonderous comments were already racing through my head.
sigh…
Sounds like an ill-named women’s softball team…
Esprix, don’t you ever do that to me again! Sheesh!
My life is weird enough as it is. I come to the SDMB for some peace and quiet, and the first thing I see tonight is “This queer’s switching teams.” Talk about an eye-popper! I mean, the sun is yellow, my house is a mess, and Esprix is gay. That’s just the way it is. Thank Goddess this is just another dull sports thread, or I would have had to make my shrink up my meds!
Sure, you can still root for the Philadelphia teams, but you are absolutely not allowed to root for Allen Iverson. Root for the Sixers when he’s on the bench.
Heck, I still root for the Cleveland and Philadelphia teams over the Bozeman teams.
Whoa… Esprix’s gonna be in my neighborhood (well, sorta… couple hundred miles to the south).
Hey, Esprix, if you’re ever around the San Fernando valley, drop me a line! It’s boring here, but… uh… uh… oh, nevermind, it’s just boring.
This is even funnier from an Aussie’s perspective considering what “root” means down under…
So? Aintcha gonna tell us?
I knew Esprix was playin all along.
