When Is It Acceptable To Switch Teams?
Today’s episode of KFC Radio features a member of the KFC Radio guest all star team…Chris Distefano! You may or may not know this, but he’s pretty close these days to the owner of the Mets, Steve Cohen, and it’s absolutely infuriating KFC that he’s not ready to officially switch his allegiance to the Mets despite this.
When exactly is it acceptable to switch teams, though (From a sporting perspective, of course. Do it whenever you want sexually. This is America in 2024, baby!)? While it’s a bit of a taboo thing to do, there are some situations where you’re 100% justified in doing so.
I think the first reason you can do it is if your team makes a decision that is so abhorrent and wrong in your view that you cannot possibly in good faith pull for them anymore. It happened to me in 2017 when Isaiah Thomas was traded away from the Celtics. This was a guy who gave the city everything, and they just traded him away the second he became damaged goods. I didn’t switch teams, but I haven’t been a fan in the same way since. Gonna go watch this mix and cry for the foreseeable future.
You might be justified if you move too, but it has to be a cross country move. If you’re going from New York to Philly and trade in Grimace for the Phillie Phanatic you’re the kind of person that can’t be trusted with anything.
If you become friends with the owner of the team then you DEFINITELY can switch allegiances. That or you get in your owner friend’s ear and torpedo his franchise. That might be the far better bit.
Then if you get drafted to a team you’re not a fan of you can for sure switch, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say nobody reading this blog is gonna have to face that. No disrespect.
Distefano always brings the heat and today was no different. He’s developed a bit of a plan for his possible appearance on Club Shay Shay that you’re gonna want to hear. Give it a listen.
