I encourage every parent to allow their child to pick the team of his or her choice. The parent's allegiance or bitterness should not be a factor. However, keep in mind if the child sees the parent constantly complaining the he or she may grow up to do the same. Conversely if the child sees the parent enjoying the sport for what it is and not allow it to affect their overall outlook; the child may develop a healthy relationship with the sport.
