West Ham United is my favourite football team, because they are the first team who I ever saw play on television when I was younger and I just stuck with them since then. But NY Redbulls are a close second because you gotta support your home team. And I don't really like any other sports, save Esports. But my favourite Esport team has got to be TSM on LoL.

NFL - Raiders, because growing up I just latched on to them. Sadly we've not been a championship team in some time and the only Super Bowl I saw them in was a huge upsetting loss. It hurt to watch that game. Also secondary team is the Dolphins because we had season tickets for a few years... Man I pick losers lol.

NHL - Tampa Bay Lightning, just always liked the team even though I have yet to see a game, secondary is the Panthers but only because they were the first team I saw live and at the time they had one of the best goalies in the league (John Vanbiesbrouck).

NBA - not a fan of basketball, sorry

MLB - Well, the Marlins because after they won their first World Series people shat on them saying they just bought talent so they cleaned house and came back a few years after and won again with a new team. Other than that the Red Sox because it was their curse breaking series win that I watched. I don't really follow baseball though.

NCAA - FSU, and second is Alabama. Reasons for both are family and extended family who went to both.

I don't watch much sports these days though because the games just seem bogged down by politics and pay scale. I don't understand how athletes can get such high paychecks and have shit years and not get pay cuts except by contract crap. I think the games would be better if their pay rates were defined by how well they play, not necessarily by win though. Why I say this is exemplified by Randy Moss' attitude when he played for the Raiders. He basically said he wouldn't play for the team because they weren't up to his level but collected a paycheck. I wish I could have a job where if I didn't like who I worked with I could sit on ass and not get fired.

Let's see then. Seeing as I work for our sports television, there's gonna be a bunch...

NHL: LA Kings, gotta support Kopitar, 'specially since my father and his father are drinking buddies.

NFL: Anything but Patriots, really >.> I just can't stand them.

Ex-Erste Bank Eishockey Liga: Acroni Jesenice, now defunct...which is really sad because that's the hockey club I grew up with...

Serie A: Inter Milan FC

Premier League: Arsenal FC

Ligue 1: AS St. Etienne

Bundesliga: BVB

I don't like basketball, or the Spanish Primera Division; so nothing there. And I quite don't like if I get to work on those games, I prefer being written up for NHL and stuff ^^

My favourite (e-)sports team is now Team Zephyr! A Dota 2 pro team splashing down in the nascent SKR scene, rescuing Blitz from the ashes of the fOu debacle.


Corey (Carry)
Blitz (Mid)
SexyBamboe (Offlane)
Purge (Jungling/2nd Support)
Eosin (Support)

This is going to be good!

Well in football I support Chelsea, but for the domestic side of things I like Brisbane Roar. I have to support the domestic side otherwise I may as well not even watch the sport. But Chelsea is much more interesting. Bigger league, better players, etc. However the reason I support them was when I was a kid I saw Joe Cole score a solo goal against Man Utd. Impressed the hell out of me.

I don't mind a bit of NHL to be honest, I like the Montréal Canadiens

There's a theme to my favorite teams.

NFL - Dallas Cowboys......I grew up in Texas.
NBA - San Antonio Spurs...I grew up in Texas and the Mavericks sucked for such a very long time.
MLB - Texas Rangers.......I grew up in Texas.
NHL - Dallas Stars........I grew up in Texas. Actually, this one has more to do with them being the team that got me interested in hockey. I never paid much attention to it until Dallas got a team. I watched a game on TV and was complete baffled by everything I saw but was intrigued. I watch another game with an encyclopedia opened to the rules of the game so I could figure out what was going on. I enjoyed it. That christmas I got tickets to a game and have been a fan ever since. It's pretty much the only sport where I could watch a game regardless of who is playing and still enjoy it.

MLS - Soccer is boring.
