Did lebron steal your bike? Run over your dog maybe?

[Palcron]

Did lebron steal your bike? Run over your dog maybe?

Nope. I just don't like him. He's definitely one of the (if not the) best in the world, but that doesn't really matter to me. I also root for every team that plays UF. I'm sure everyone has teams/players that they root both for and against.

They just formed last year and I only heard about them recently so, no, I haven't been.

You know what I would love and support? A national women's ice hockey league. Man, fuck women's basketball, I want to see a women's melee on ice!

I agree...who I root against?

NFL: Eagles, because really...Eagles. Worst. Fans. In. The. League. Period. (.) City of brotherly love my left butt cheek. As a die-hard Giants fan I can see where this would be suspect, because what New Yorker doesn't hate those Philly Fucks...fact is, if it was just that, I'd put Dallas at the top of my hate-list, because fuck those guys, America's Team...you're half fucking Mexican. If anyone is America's Team it's the By-God red, white, and blue New York Motherfucking Giants. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." yeah, those people didn't come to America seeking a better life by way of Dallas, they arrived in Motherfucking NEW YORK, By God. And they built our nation.

...I digress. So yes, I hate the Cowgirls...but nothing replaces a Philly fan in my hierarchy of cesspool denizens...Steelers fans are a close second though, and they aren't even in my league. Must be something about Pennsylvania in general. It just breeds assholes.

As to the rest of sports, at either a collegiate or professional level...I really could give 2 shits. There's no team I hate in any sport more than the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers, or the Dallas Cowboys, in that order, if I had to pick an order, but realistically it's about even.

[Latrinsorm]

I think it's more fun to say who you root against.
I agree...Y'all haters.

[Warriorbird]

You son of a...

Seriously. LSU baseball is some of the best times I had in y'all's neck of the woods.

[Ker_Thwap]

Dallas was called America's Team because they appeared on national television every damned week, and eventually some NFL films guy decided their faces were all recognizable to the American public. It wasn't anything to do with their lack of Mexicans.

That said, it's fun to mock Dallas because they think Tony pick six under pressure Romo is a real quarterback. It was fun to mock the Chargers when LaDainian Thomlinson was crying real tears because the Patriots were mocking his buddies classless taunting dance. I don't really hate any team, or any fanbase. I can temporarily lose respect for a team when they behave in an unsportsmanlike manner.

[Gelston]

You son of a...

Bwahahahahahaha. LSU is a close second though.

[SHAFT]

I root for whoever is on my fantasy teams.

[Alfster]

[Hydra]

Sorry, but was this a joke?

Oddly enough no. I started rooting for them when my brother and I watched a match where they played against Chelsea, his favorite club, and they tied. I actually enjoyed rooting for them and looked into their history and found out even though last year was their first year in the premiere league the club goes back to the 1860's. So, even though I started rooting for them because I was kind of being a dick, but not 100% a dick, I evolved into a real fan.

Try a demo or even a console game and get back to me. I find WRC and F1 far more interesting, but I wouldn't call what Jimmy Johnson has done unimpressive or not sportsish in any way.

[Gelston]

It being a fun console game wouldn't change its status of sport/unsport. I mean, I've played Need for Speed a lot, but I don't consider criminals in high speed pursuits to be athletes.

Fair enough. A lot of people consider it less valid than F1 or Rally due to its "simpleness." If you play the console game of it, though, you see that it isn't quite so simple. Fan base wise, it dwarves most others too.

/pseudo rant

Fair enough. It's just odd considering the team. They're notorious for going in and out of relegation and having to fight their way back into the league and they have no real presence outside of their local fan base. I can safely say I've never heard someone declare themselves a fan before.

I hope you were able to fully capitalize on their surprising victory over Chelsea this past season. I think Mourinho had like 4 strikers in by the end of the match. Hilarious. I'm not really into the EPL in the first place, but when I noticed that Palace was up over Chelsea, I had to watch.
