The logical choice would be to root for the Boston franchise, except there is no Boston franchise as of yet. There is, however, the next best thing -- a New England franchise. In fact, there are two New England franchises: the Rhode Island Rampage and the Connecticut Constitution. Coincidentally, they happen to play this afternoon in East Providence.
However, that actually poses a dilemma. Which New England team do I adopt? I don't want to be one of those New York douchebags who roots for the Giants and the Jets, depending on which way the wind is blowing.
* Both teams have singular nicknames, a major pet peeve of mine. Advantage: neither.
* The Rampage have a cool logo/mascot, I think it's really supposed to be a rhinoceros but it almost kind of looks a Triceratops. Advantage: Rhode Island.
* The Constitution's logo/mascot looks like old-skool New England Patriot logo Pat Patriot
except flinging a frisbee. Advantage: Connecticut.
I'm going to have to think about this some more. Stay tuned.
