I love my Blackhawks. That is all.

So why the Hawks F?

I just want to know since I'm collecting targets for taunting next year when the Jets demolish Division B...

So why the Hawks F?

I was born in Illinois. I've been a lifetime Hawks fan. And Cubs (unfortunately). And Bears (sometimes unfortunately, sometimes not). And Bulls, although living in Portland has made me more of a Blazers fan than a Bulls fan.

Birth is a perfectly legitimate reason for sports fandom.

I'll accept a) birth, b) current city of residence, c) favorite place you ever lived. I'll even accept d) favorite player is X, favorite team is the one he plays for at the moment - although that's not a reason I've ever used, I understand it.

As a last resort, I'll also take e) I fell in love with X team as a child for some reason even though I didn't live anywhere near them and I've been a fan since I was a little kid. But that's really reaching, and for special circumstances only.

What about 'through out my child hood I wore a sports team hat that had my name on it, and oh by the way they won a championship when I was 10, and so even though I've never been to that city it's on my bucket list to see a game there...'

It never ceases to amaze me (in a good way) that CBC does an online broadcast of HNIC in Punjabi.

I'm pretty sure that falls under e) and sounds acceptable to me.

Well nice come back just the same.
