Leeds United Chat • All 49ers Aren't We?
Maybe our USA contingent could offer some light as to whether 49ers success is in the best interests of LUFC.
My theory is that the NFL operates on a parity scheme. That regardless of level of success (or failure), every team is a commercial entity that will generate income.
I'm not a big NFL fan but have always follwoed the Bills. When I first started watching the NFL in England, the Bills were on their 4 superbowl run. I moved to California, but I always kept the Bills as my team. And now they're successful again, I'm happy to still be a Bills fan.
But those 49ers? My dislike for them is somewhat illogical. I'm a huge Dodgers fan and as a result have always hated the SF Giants. By association, I've always had a distaste for the 49ers too.
But should I now be rooting for them as my second (not abandoning the Bills) team? Is there logic in rooting for the 49ers because a successful 49ers will benefit LUFC too?
