Totally, gatekeeping is weird. I find it more odd since technology allows people to follow teams more closely and since we live in a world with increased mobility where people can and do move from place to place. I don't care if Bengals fans are life-long fans, new fans, temporary fans for the Burrow years, bandwagon fans who want to follow the latest winner, or whatever other criteria brings someone to liking the Bengals. I'll take other people being along for the fun ride.
