    So while I've been getting extremely excited about today for the past month, I've encountered a problem that I want to hear other fans answer to.


    Whenever I talk about the Dolphins, I always call it my team/our team/us etc.

    A number of people feel the NEED to tell me that I don't play for the Dolphins and can't call it my team.... What reason (or witty remark) would you guys use in response.



    I just simply say "We're the 12th man" but I'm not sure if that's convincing enough.

    No witty reply necessary.

    Just remind them that it's called 'passion'. It's our team. And they can go **** themselves.

    Seriously, these people are in the (miniscule) minority. EVERYBODY says 'my/our' team.

    That's what I thought. Then we had a rough preseason and everyone went batsh^t.

    Passion is what makes the league, and for that matter, any major league sport go. :up:

    I've say we/our/us all the time. It's pretty normal. Your friends are dumb. :up:

    I put a lot into the Dolphins. Time, passion, money, etc. I support them passionately, so yes I am part of the team in some way.

    If you asked the team, they'd tell you the same thing. Top to bottom.
