I’ve done a ton of searches on here but never found any plain, simple “Who do you like in [various sport]?”
So I figured I’d make a topic for it all.
What are the main team you root for in whatever sports you follow? Like, what’s your main team in basketball, American football, baseball, hockey, soccer and all the college/womens equivalents of each (if you follow the sport)?
Born and raised in Phila, PA (USA)

Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon in NASCAR (‘cause for some reason it just kills all the NASCAR good ol’ boy fans)

Don’t really follow Pro sports anymore, but if I have to choose:

College:
Football: Ga Tech/ACC/Auburn/Florida in that order

Grew up in the Bay Area, flipped to the East Coast for my higher edumacations. Currently living in Boston. As a result, my team allegiances are somewhat haphazard (and heavily influenced by the fact that I wasn’t into sports much until graduate school).

NFL: 49ers, when I can bring myself to care
NLL (hey, it’s a professional sport!): Blazers
NHL: Montreal Canadiens
CFL: Montreal Alouettes
NFL: Can’t seem to pick a team, but love watching the sport. I hopped on the Saints bandwagon last year, and seem to have kept cheering for them, but who knows?
NBA: Don’t watch it, but love hearing about the Raptors losing
