    Recently Cena was at a baseball game cheering on Tampa Bay against the team from Boston. Again at the NBA playoffs Boston were in action against Orlando and he was ringside wearing an Orlando Magic jersey.

    Americans are sports nuts. I can't imagine this will make wrestling fans from his part of the world like him very much.

    He's a Boston fan but he was a guest of Orlando's so they made him put an Orlando jersey over his Boston one

    American sports teams are all franchises so they're not technically "local" teams. It's fairly common for people to support teams from different parts of the country, for example the Raiders NFL team began in Oakland, moved to LA and then back to Oakland, not the biggest move but that's just an example of it, i'd imagine the majority of fans still support the team though......

    .....all of which is pointless really cause as krudler said Cena's not form Boston!;)

    True, although the Celtics have been in Boston since the very beginning. Ditto the Red Sox. I'd imagine in the area he is from those are the two teams they would gravitate to. Whenever WWE hit Boston it is said to be Cena's home patch. I'm not saying it's anything important just that i doubt it will do him any favours in that demographic which has already taken a dislike of him and who are also from Massachusetts as a whole.

    The Boston teams are institutions which have never left

    yeah, just saying you can see how people don't always support the teams near them....

    ..I can see where you're coming from OP but i don't think there's the same attitude towards "local" teams as over here so i can't see it doing him too much harm.
