If you didn't attend school there...
If your kids didn't attend school there...
If you're not FROM there...

Fun facts for my English speaking followers. The Japanese have an abbreviation for the Chicago White Sox.
シカホワ, or Shikahowa.
The name for Chicago White Sox is written in Japanese as シカゴ・ホワイトソックス (romanized as Shikago Howaitosokusu)
If you take the first two characters in both those words, you get
シカ- Shika
ホワ- Howa
So it’s essentially their version of our “ChiSox”

Club teams are also OK bec it's OK to pull for the crest and put aside nationality and recognize common humanity.
World Cup thoughts:
✅ If you aren't into ⚽, that's OK. It's like bowl games - you don't have to like it, but it's OK if other ppl do.
✅ I hope guests in 🇺🇸 have a great time. I'm sure they will. We know how to throw a party.
✅ Twitter trolls tryna antagonize. Don't let them.

I used my sawzall and finished the job.
