Hello everyone. I admit I'm a new celtics fan (haven't really been into basketball until this season) and I'm excited to be part of this great community. My sports team election are a bit weird I admit. I live in Los Angeles, but I never seemed to like any Los angeles teams. I never liked the lakers, Dodgers, Kings or Ducks. I seem to like mostly Boston teams for whatever reason (Red Sox, Bruins, and celtics) however, the exception to this is I'm a Chicago Bears fan, not a pats fan. I don't hate the pats, in fact my brother is a pats fan. It's just, I don't know, didn't really gravitate to them like I did Chicago. I doubt theirs some rule that's says you need to like ALL teams from a city or none at all.

Anyway, I'm eager to follow the team closely, read up on history, and getting to know my new team.

Thanks. I just always thought a lot of laker fans were just full of themselves, you know? You should have heard some of them when they signed Dwight Howard and Steve Nash a few years ago. Man oh man.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I get behind the Giants, they are pretty likeable, although sox are my number 1 still. Sorry to say, I kind of really dislike the 49ers and their move to santa clara has made them seem like even less of a part of sf (I am originally from Rhode Island also)

Ha ha, thanks.

It's good to know this board is very welcoming. I was worried maybe people here would be snarky because I wasnt a pats fan as well or something. I remember reading a article from bill Simmons a few years back where he said you can't really like teams not from your home city or liking one football team from a city then liking a team from a completely different city for another sport. So that had me worried I would be shilacked. Ha ha
