I am a pure hometown(with some flexibility), followed by California always allegiance.
To me a person should be allowed 2 hometown favorites(How many people only live in one city there whole life). Born and raised in Norcal, been in Socal for nearly 10 years and will most likely live out the rest of my life here. Even before I moved down to Socal, I was never into any of the Bay Area or So Cal rivalries.
NFL
1. 49ers
2. Chargers
Will root for the rest of the California teams as long is it does not conflict, especially if they are playing against an eastern team
NBA
1a. Lakers
1b. Warriors
Will root for the rest of the California teams as long is it does not conflict, especially if they are playing against an eastern team
MLB
1. Giants
Will root for the rest of the California teams as long is it does not conflict, especially if they are playing against an eastern team
Disclaimer(If I had some awesome career opportunity that made me move to the East, I would keep this allegiance, even if I lived there the rest of my days)
