Not allowed. I agree. 2nd favorite teams are crap. You can enjoy watching a certain team play but you can't openly root for them unless it's the playoffs and your team is done. Exactly. That's what the Indians are to me. I love their young team, I enjoy watching them play, but unless they are playing the Sox, an NL Central team, or in the playoffs, I don't feel the need to root for them and call them my second team.
