I love their organizations and how they play, no doubt it. However, we both know there's a huge difference between appreciating a cultural organization and enjoying watching a team play than with identifying yourself with them (hence the "we), especially when that team is major competition in the conference; I know you know that so please don't play dumb.

My hang-up is with people not owning up to things. Even before when I brought this up, you tried to act like it never happened. This time, you admitted to it but then tried to rationalize it multiple different times rather than just saying "Ok, yeh, I rooted for two teams".
