Could you explain the difference of the meaning ?

I support the Giants.
I cheer for the Giants.

If my memory serves me correctly, someone said that
" I support the Giants" implies that I offer money to the Giants."

Is that true?

" Is that true? Probably not, though it is possible. 'Support' in this context usually means simply 'to like the team' Anonymous I cheer for the Giants This adds that you probably go to the team's games and encourage them to win by shouting and blowing a horn.
