my face causes global warming
I said that traditionally it was about where you were from or where you lived. In the past (say fifty years ago) if someone moved with their family, then the kids might well grow up supporting whoever the new local team was while the parent would retain their allegience to the team they left behind - even if they could no longer watch them play.
It's not about chest-beating. I'm not trying to say I'm a better fan than anyone else either. I'm saying that a person's club should still have a lot to do with who they were brought up to support by their parents, rather than a choice made by watching TV (if the person's parents are football fans of course). I quite clearly state that in the post you quoted.
I also quite clearly state in the post that you quoted that I wasn't talking about you, but generalising the attitude.
