Can't I be a casual fan for all state schools, even SUNO and Dillard?

People have stopped bringing up the “pull for all schools” when talking to me because they know I’ll set them straight. It’s gotten to the point where my wife will explain to them before I have to say anything. When she brings up that I can’t stand LSU because of politics, sexual assault coverups, & domestic abuse investigations they don’t even try to respond. Most LSU fans deflect everything when I bring up those things on Facebook. One said I was on a crusade and wouldn’t answer when I asked if he supports covering up sexual assault.
Now I do pull for & attend games at Southeastern football, Southern baseball, & UNO baseball because I have former players on their rosters.
I support only 1 state school. I grew up and live in the Baton Rouge area. Nearly everyone around me supports LSU. I have my undergraduate degree from Louisiana and my masters from LSU. I attended LSU because my professional degree wasn’t offered at UL. I decided a long time ago that LSU wasn’t my family or consistent with my values. I am 100% a Ragin’ Cajun!
I believe that’ I pull for other state schools can be true, regardless of support, or knowledge of. For example I occasionally cared about the Hoax with Joe Profit. That’s me pulling for Louisiana kids. Profit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Profit , Vida Blue https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vida_Blue who never played a day of college baseball,for example. I rarely pay attention to those other teams record of the day.
I will support other state schools of my choosing. I can say that Tulane and LSU are not on that list. While I don’t pull for Tech or ULM, I will NEVER support stifling their pursuit of growth or brand promotion. If they want to grow beyond their regional feel, let ‘em. One thing I try not to be is a hypocrite. That said, I will talk trash to them until the lights go out
People that "root" for people because they have relationships with them and they just so happen to play for a state school is different. I've rooted for ULM to win a few games in my lifetime when it helped the Cajuns and the conference. That's not the same thing as DBag LSU A&M fan lecturing us on who to "root" for or that we should pull for A&M because it's "good for the state." That is complete nonsense.
Of course it’s utterly absurd for anyone to suggest anyone is in some way obligated to support emotionally, financially, or even not ok to pull against any one.
I agree. I have never pulled for Tech in my life. A family member of mine at one time was leaning toward them with a football offer. He ended up not going there. If he would have I would of had to pull for him. I am happy to announce that to this day I still have never pulled for Tech in anything.
