Is switching a team a thing in the US, especially based on them not winning for a bit???
Certainly in Europe, you are generally born into supporting a club, and you die supporting the same one - how seriously you take the highs and lows is up to you, but I've never really entertained the thought that there was a choice??
I randomly picked the Bears when the NFL came to UK TV in the eighties - it subsequently led me to visit the States to watch them, ended up living in Chicago for a year and continue to tune in every week.
I certainly don't have the same passion that I do for my local football (soccer) club, whee I've had the same season ticket for 30 odd years, but can't think why I would change - it definitely wouldn't be to chase after a winning team
That's not what I'm talking about. I really don't know anyone that's done that.
