For my first article here on The Cannon, I want to discuss why I am a Blue Jackets fan and why I am hopeful for the future of this franchise.
ON FANDOM
For me, sports fandom is a matter of civic pride. I was born and raised in Columbus, therefore any athlete representing Columbus, Ohio, or the US (on the international level) is someone I can root for. Even if the athlete is from somewhere else, there is a connection there. As long as they wear the name of MY home on their uniform, they represent ME.
