It's ok. Their Mom's uncle's friend's gardener's mistress once passed through Pitt so they are justified in the Pittsburgh fandom.
It's like moving to the United States from Afghanistan but continuing to support Afghanistan's war efforts over the U.S.

CBJ-CBJ. Don't go away mad pen fan, just go away!
Disagree. Modern sports are a surrogate for war and represent battles between two different schools, cities, or states. They have taken that spot in modern culture.
I can't believe it took us over a decade to come up with the CBJ chant. It sounds so great.

Further, not supporting the home team hurts yourself in addition to that team. If you move to Florida, you SHOULD root for the Panthers. If fans of hockey who live in Miami don't support the Panthers, the team WILL move and you will be stuck without any NHL team at all.
Take pride in where you live and work. That's the American way and is central to American identity. You give up where you used to live and adopt your new home and people.
Granted this doesn't hold for all things, namely school sports. Once you are a graduate of some place, that will always be your alma mater, but cities, states, and countries are different. I am lucky to be a CBJ season ticket holder, but if I am moved to Miami you can bet I will immediately be a Panthers season ticket holder. And guess what, try to watch a team at home for 41 games and not become a major fan.

Sports doesn't work that way. If I had to move to Miami, you bet your ass I'm wearing my CBJ jersey amongst all those empty seats in the Panthers arena. CBJ in town? You'd better believe I'm rooting for them instead of the Panthers.
No yinzer's family tree branches out that far in the first place.
You do realize that a good chunk of us on these boards are Jackets fans who've ended up in other states, don't you? Are you insisting that we stop being Jackets fans?
The problem with Pens fans in Ohio is that they're a bunch of bandwagon following mo-rons. There's a few die-hards, and there's nothing wrong with them, just like there's nothing wrong with my refusal to switch over to the Bruins.
The Panthers would be my SECOND favorite team unless they gave me a reason to become my first.
Oh wait, that sounds familiar.

I'm a yinzer. Yep. That's my hometown. Considering you're a guy who portrays himself as a smart dude, this is a pretty stupid thing to say.
Columbus is a city with LOTS of transplants from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Michigan.
Oh and Somalia too, but that's a whole nuther discussion!
