Growing up as a kid in Canada I was of course a hockey fan first. The Canadiens won 4 straight Cups from 76-79, then the Islanders won 4 straight from 80-83. It didn't stop me from cheering for my favorite team (Leafs, sigh) then. These days, if the Yankees or Sox go crazy again and rattle off a bunch of championships in a row, I'll still be cheering on my Jays.

Dynasties are a good thing, IMHO. They give opposing fanbases easy "Evil Empire" targets to cheer against. As long as they are somewhat controlled by league economics. I get that football in Europe is more vulnerable to the "most $$$ wins" syndrome.
