Dad's devotion to losing team sparks a daughter's passion as well

We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories: 

From Beth Rosenberg Sanders of Gaithersburg, Md.: 

I grew up in New Jersey, the daughter of a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan. In the heart of New York Giants country, my dad, David Rosenberg, rooted for a team that had never even made it to the Super Bowl. But his dedication and devotion to his team was infectious, and I found myself rooting for the Orange and Brown, too. My love of my team keeps me close to my dad and every time I go to a game, I wear one of his old hats or jerseys so he is there with me.
