Ehh I dont agree with you

I associate being a fan of a team with money given to a team.
When I attend a Bayern or Newcastle or TSV 1860 game I dont really like paying wages and transfers for HSV or Arsenal etc

That is one of the reasons I am pretty lukewarm to the NFL and dont really follow a team.
How can you be a huge fan of the team when every dollar you spend on that team is broken up and used against that team?
It makes no sense to me
