How dumb does "I'm cheering for the Oilers because they're also from Alberta" sound? Very. Same thing with any other team and Canada instead of Alberta.

Yeah that's totally reasonable and I don't expect people to cheer for the Jets because they're a Canadian city. But it's a majority opinion. It is what it is.
