The subculture that I have chosen to be in is the 'Northern Ohio Sports Fan' subculture. This culture is full of 100% true Cleveland Sports fans who support the Browns, Buckeyes, Indians, Cavaliers---heck, even the Cleveland Crunch and Cleveland Rockers.
I really am not a fan of people who choose to pick random teams from other cities and states. I believe that unfortunately, you are born into your team affiliations and you should support them no matter what. I truly am apart of this subculture because I love ONLY Ohio sports teams and I've loved them since the day I was born. Cleveland has never been known to be a spectacular sports town but the true fan will always stick by his team and not slander them all the time.
Being born in northeast Ohio and 'liking' the teams from around us does not immediately qualify you into this subculture but you must be an enduring and respectable fan who doesn't jump off the bandwagon as soon as things go sour. I've been a huge Cleveland Cavaliers fan since day one and I've endured a seventeen win season all the way to a trip to the NBA Finals, so I've seen both ends of the spectrum.
