but as the world becomes "globalized" and technology driven a lot more of our students are no longer fans of their home team.

When I was young, I was the exception as a Rockets fan You had a couple guys here and there who mighta been Knicks fans cause their dad grew up in NY, but now when I poll my students on what teams they follow the distribution is all over the place. A lot of it has to do with where the stars are, but things are trending away from traditional home teams--esp in a city like NY where there are now so many transplants.

But yea last week I was chatting with 4 5th graders at lunch we had a knick fan, 2 heat fans and a laker fan.
