Alright, this pissing contest is useless. First off, I do hate bandwagoners and glory hunters, and I've met plenty of them. They started watching the game 2 years ago and chose Man U as "their" team without really understanding and appreciating different leagues and getting aquainted with the game.
But lets not forget the fact that English football is no longer "English" football. It is now a global brand. How many english players are playing in the EPL? So, what if the world wants to join in on the fun. If someone from Côte d'Ivoire wants to support Chelsea because of Drogba, I don't see anything wrong with this.
And for the people across the pond, put yourself in the position of a person from America, North and South. I grew up supporting a club from Veracruz Mexico. But the best football is played in Europe. It attains and keeps the best talent in the world, and has the grandest competitions. Most people outside that relm want to get caught up in the fun, and picking some team to support allows you to jump in with a point of reference. Also, the matches aired mostly show the bigger clubs, so to ask someone why they don't support WBA is stupid because no one will ever see their matches. Some of you blast American arrogance, but look at yourself if you can't step into somebody else's shoes and see things from their perspective.
But like I said in another post, I don't support a club, but I enjoy watching certain clubs. I wish more people would do the same instead of bandwaggoning.
