I heard an interesting segment on local talk radio today about this subject so I figure I will post the question on here.
A local sport talk guy today was slamming "adults" who wear team jerseys. He was saying that its immature and losers wear jerseys. Guys/gals who never had a chance to excel in sports etc etc etc. Needless to say there were a ton of callers ripping right back at him. What are your thoughts? Do wear a jersey of your favorite team?

The football I pay attention to, college football in the American south, it is mostly 12-year-olds who wear jerseys to the games. A small minority of adults would wear something like a football jersey, probably with some jorts, a mullet, a goatee, and a camelback full of Fighting C*ck 103 proof.
First, radio guys will take that kind of position merely to stoke a food fight because conflict sells. That is why the three cable news channels are basically all food fight all the time.
If someone wants to wear a jersey because he likes a team or a player that's fine. Actually, it's none of my business because they aren't hurting anything.
What I really hate are those knee length shorts (they use to be called board shorts) men are wearing these days with tennis shoes and no socks. Makes me nauseous because it looks gross. But again, if that's what they want to wear it's not up to me to tell them they can't.

I think that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I also think its hypocritical for some ******* who has some personal beliefs/pet peeves to try and down other people for their free will and choice on how to support an athlete/team. Also hypocritical for talking trash about people in a studio. How manly.
I personally don't wear jerseys other than at the ballpark on occassions. I may have not made it to the pros, but that was never an ambition of mine. But who says you have to be a professional athlete in order to excel in sports? There are many grown up people out there, including myself, that partake in sports and work out regularly that I consider as athletic as anyone else. We may not make millions of dollars for it, but few do.
that is stupid, the radio guy must had a bad incident wearing a jersey that embarassed him.
I have several jerseys that I wear occasionally, at work we have jersey days and everyone wears their team jerseys, I see nothing wrong wearing a jersey, its showing support for you team just like by wearing a t-shirt or ballcap.
I wear the following to work, at the mall, at the bowling alley, at the BBQ house, at my friend's house, etc... with little to no shame:
Indianapolis Colts Home 88 - Marvin Harrison
Indiana Pacers road (blue) 25 - Brandon Rush
Detroit Tigers road (gray) 15 - Brandon Inge
Nashville Predators pre lockout home 17 - Scott Hartnell - He was traded long ago, but they don't sell a lot of Preds gear in Indianapolis, and I prefer the old jerseys anyway.
Anyone who has a problem with this can feel free to make some friends to deal with their own low self esteem issues *or* call the WAAAAHHHHHHH-bmulance
