When I was a kid my dads friend who was a big Oilers fan told me that as a Flames fan I could never cheer for an Edmonton team. I never have cheered for any Edmonton team. Is it still true that a Flames fan has to hate all Edmonton teams and is the opposite true? (Oilers fans cant cheer for Calgary teams)

My dislike for Edmonton extends to every team in the city and to the city itself is that normal?

Your Dad's friend has a point. And having witnessed the "wars" between the Flames and Oilers during the 80's and 90's, I can understand why.
I make an exception for my niece who lives near San Jose for not being a Flyers fan, and I have cut ties with the Phillies until they get major league ownership, but I will never, and I mean NEVER welcome a Dallas Cowboys fan into my home.
So cheer for who you want, I have met some crazies who not only show up in other teams colors, but start talking smack while outnumbered by the hometown fans.
If the Eagles finish out of the playoffs, I'd be rooting for the Packers because Brett Favre is one of my favorite QB's. And if the Flyers get knocked off, I'd pull for the Devils because of Martin Brodeur. But that's the only reason.
I am most definitely not a bandwagon fan. Even if the Sixers and Phillies win their next respective championships, you won't hear a peep out of me unless the Spurs or Athletics are involved. And when Philly gets a soccer team, I'm going to say goodbye and thanks to DC United.

The fan's popular participant is often the backup QB. The Dallas followers have been crying all 300 and sixty 5 days approximately desiring Romo to play all season and he stunk it up. definite, he had 2 TD's, yet those 3 INT's have been all terrible. the 1st one (which became additionally the 1st play), became a wobbly duck that should have been horribly incomplete if it weren't tipped then picked off. the single while he tried to tension the demonstrate became severe Schoolesque. His RB became surrounded by potential of three Giants. you are able to desire to be attentive to to throw that away on the pro point. mutually as I wasn't anticipating Romo to decide for 250 with 3 TD's and no INT's interior the 2d a million/2, he did no longer look from now on useful then Bledsoe. As a ingredient notice, i like how T.O. basically laughed off that dropped bypass on 4th and short, yet while it could have been some rook WR doing that, he could have been pissing and crying approximately how all human beings isn't doing their pastime. He makes that seize and probability is they a minimum of get a FG through fact TO might are starting to be one greater 5-10 yards minimum and that play became the emotional pastime changer. T.O. has 6 drops this season and could start up looking interior the mirror as to the struggles of the group, quite of what he stated interior the interviews after the pastime the place he stated the protection wasn't making the performs and that we, the offense, did no longer cause them to. How approximately them (falling aside and probable no longer making the playoffs) Cowboys?

Not always. If your team is still in the running then never. But if it's the playoffs and your team is out, then go ahead if they have players you like, or for divisional pride or something along those lines (last season I was rooting for Atlanta in the playoffs because of the divisional pride thing- Go SE!)
But if you're dad has that opinion, go to a sports bar or a friends house. he would be devastated if he found out.
