I inherited my loyalty. I did not grow up in Missouri, but my dad did. He was a Cardinals fan since the days of Hornsby, and I've been a Cardinals fan since Marty Marion. And I still am. My dad never followed other sports much, except boxing, which I have no interest in.

Yep. Think he was taking me to Dodger and Laker games before I turned a year old. Been a fan of them ever since.

My Dad was a Chicago Cardinals fan....

But he was also a White Sox fan. He moved to Pittsburgh where I was born so I've always been a Pirates fan. I do like the Sox though.

My dad, grandfather, and uncles dont even follow sports.

The only fandom that I inherited is being a Packers fan. My family is from Iowa and my family up there kind of turned me on to being a Packers fan when I spent time there as a kid.

All other fandom, I developed on my own.

I also like to add that I am still a Rams fan.

No - my dad is a browns fan and I couldn't tell you for any of the other sports in which case he was just more of a fan

my older brother is a browns fan, but I made my own way for football

i like to see the browns do well though for them
