NBA: Lakers and Heat - I really dislike Kobe Bryan and Lebron James. They seem like babies that never grew up.

MLB: Yankees, if pressed.

NHL: No one really, but I guess the Avalanche if pressed.

NFL: No one

Tennis: Serena Williams - I’m embarrassed that she plays **Fed Cup for the USA** sometimes to the point of not wanting to ever win it with her on the team. Her tirade against the lines-woman was so bad, she should have been banned from the US Open the next year, but wasn’t.

I’ll add:

NCAA: Michigan State and Ohio State - I cheer against them always.

NFL: Vikings, Cowboys. Once upon a time, I would have put the Bears on that list, but living in Chicago for 22 years may have mellowed me on that. 😉  
MLB: Yankees

I follow the NHL and NCAA football, but I can’t get enough hate on for any particular team to list as a “least favorite”.

> The Raiders. I would be happy if their entire franchise folded and ceased to exist, preferable due to some kind of epically shameful scandal. I would dance. There are other teams I don’t like, teams I’m happy to see lose, but the Raiders are the only team that I want to just not be there anymore.

Seconded. And I don’t even care about football. It’s more due to the fans than the team itself - I’ve never seen a bigger collection of scumbags. I spent most of my life in the Bay Area, BTW.

Swindon Town - they are scum. Swindon’s most famous landmark is a roundabout - says it all really.

**Dread Pirate Jimbo** has done all my thinking for me.  
OH – except I have no animosity for the Maple Leafs. He can hate them all on his own.

Routing against Notre Dame is pretty easy as long as you avoid the Indiana Toll Road…😃

The Eagles above all else. The Cowboys and Chargers are on a much lower tier.

The Phillies and, somewhat less, the Braves.

Whenever the World Cup rolls around I root against Argentina. This stems from an Argentina-Nigeria game I attended when the cup came to the U.S. The Nigerian fans were impressively well-groomed, polite, etc. The Argentine fans, not so much.

I can’t tell if I hate or love that everyone hates the Steelers. It does give me a little warm feeling inside, so I guess I like it.

MLB: Yankees  
NHL: Capitals  
NBA: Is that still a sport? Why?  
WCS: Germany, now South Africa

NFL: Baltimore. Just thinking of wearing one of their jerseys is nausiating.

I think there might be a common theme here…
