Does this mean I'm not a patriot?

I'm beginning to worry. I seem to have developed an affinity for football. Not the American kind. I mean the sport where the only real piece of equipment a player uses is his shoes. They call them boots.

At first I thought it was just the World Cup, something that would pass. Then I started reading the soccer articles at the world wide leader that weren't about the World Cup. I started following the local team a little closer. I located the pubs that televise Premier League Football games on the weekends, and have been trying to decide which team I should support. What does being a fan of Arsenal say about me? Will I look stupid wearing the Manchester City jersey? I purchased tickets to a game this weekend at RFK as well as a soccer video game for my playstation. I asked my roommate if he wanted to go outside and kick the soccer ball yesterday. We don't own a soccer ball.

My name is DC Viking, and I like Football, I mean Soccer. I mean Futbol.
