If you force your kids to root for the Bengals you suck

[HarleyDog]

I like this thread and the different parenting styles which emerged. I would try to influence my son to follow the Bengals because it would be something else we had in common. Another topic to bring up to always keep us communicating, even if its not really that important on a life scale matter. Also, imo, someone who roots for an underdog usually displays deeper traits in a person than someone who always takes the easy way out and chooses the winner.
