Right - decided I need to pick an American football franchise to support on a permanent basis.
I like to pick based on geography - the place I’d most like to go.
Who should I pick?

It’s definitely going on the shortlist…
What a fine chap !
Didn’t realise there was a whole Cleveland / Baltimore relocation saga either…
Haven’t Cleveland got some awful owner (as well as an unpleasant QB?)
I guess that Cleveland is one of four teams never to have even been to a Super Bowl (with Detroit, Jacksonville & Houston) and I have a soft spot for underdogs.
Detroit Lions
Minnesota Vikings
'We're from Philly, fucking Philly, no one likes us we don't care'
It kind of seems like the least American city though somehow?
Also, great American BBQ, Midwestern and cowboy vibes without going full Texas or Wisconsin. Never go full Texas
I worry that picking KC right now might look a bit like glory-supporting - like picking up Man Utd near the end of Alex Ferguson’s reign…
You could pick someone in their conference and visit the city during a game. It also has strong university town nightlife.
Chargers, broncos, raiders. No one would ever accuse you of glory supporting with the raiders
I think you have the answer then. Why ask someone else where you'd most like to go?
When I travel and wear a Steelers hat, someone at the airport always shouts “go Steelers” or starts up a conversation. You’d be joining a friendly tribe.
Also, Pittsburgh is beautiful.
Although I am baffled as to why both LA teams have the same colours…
