Here we go Spurs, Here we go! So you’re probably asking yourself why in the world is she cheering for the San Antonio Spurs? My friends the reason is because I don’t know if I should become a Spurs fan now. What should I do? I ask this question because Bill Simmons, columnist for ESPN.com and author of “Now I Can Die in Peace”, has said in Number 18 of his Rules of Being a Sports Fan:
18. If you live in a city that has fielded a professional team since your formative years, you have to root for that team. None of this, "The Bengals weren't very good when I was growing up in Cincy, so I became a Cowboys fan" crap.
You can find the rest of the rules here: http://proxy.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/020227
I can do this and still follow the rule because my hometown DOES NOT have a sports team, plus I am a transplant to the city and never followed another NBA team. Now that I live in San Antonio do I have to start cheering LOUD and proud for the Spurs? This is a tough question to ask. Good thing I have until September to decide.If I do become a San Antonio Spurs fan, I want a Tony Parker jersey(shown). After all, he is Eva Longoria’s husband. Hehe!
