Haven't earned the right to have any fans other than their home fans.
Home fans have earned the right by living in the town to be fans of a non-proven team, but generally expansion teams don't deserve any respect.
They haven't even played a game, established a legacy or anything.
How can you be a fan of something you haven't seen?
It makes no sense and usually inflames a real sports fan who has suffered with his team for years or who respects the history of sports.
