I'm curious. What would you do if your child supported another team instead of following your lead?
I know some on here have children, some old enough to have declared their allegiance. The rest can run a hypothetical on how they might feel. Chances are most of you differ from your own parents as to where your loyalties lie. How did they feel? Is their a bit of disharmony after the match between your two sides?
For some of the more vocal fans on these boards, how would you Bomber or Magpie fans feel about your child supporting the Blues? Or a Crow's offspring crazy for the Power?
Some people generalise and claim that they hate all "Carlscum" fans for example. Would that apply to your child too or would you be a hypocrite?
My father is a Richmond fan but he started following the game the same time as me so I didn't have any deep rooted culture to adhere to.
If my daughter decided she wanted to be an Essendon or Collingwood supporter, I think I might have to use the 'hands over the ears', "la la la la I'm not listening" method.
