    Kings, Dodgers, Rams, Lakers, and Galaxy. Pretty simple reasoning, I was born in Northern California, but my younger brother affiliated himself with the Sharks, and I couldn't possibly root for the same team as my brother (even though I love him), so I chose to rival him. I decided to pick the Kings, because I liked the name, jersey, color scheme, and logo all more than the Ducks, and the rest is history. Mind you, all 3 teams were relevant, and playoff teams during the time, and the Sharks were actually the best of the 3. As my sports interest expanded, I just followed the teams that were in LA, and he followed the Northern California teams.
    Me: Kings, Dodgers, Rams, Lakers, Galaxy.
    My brother: Sharks, Giants, 49ers,
    (SAC) Kings, Earthquakes.
    We were both young when we picked the Sharks and Kings. Around 7-8 and 9-10 years old, but we still follow both teams to this day, and one of us is much more happy with their team's than the other right now. You can probably guess who it is. 😅

      Interesting. I'm a Michigan resident from birth and despite happily supporting the Red Wings and Tigers, I am not a Lions fan and even have some anti-Lions tendencies. I see no obligation to support a team that hasn't done anything since 1957 except but heartbreak, misery and suffering to the people of my state. (For reference, my mother and her siblings were all born in the 1960s, so it's now been two whole generations of my family). Despite being equally embarrassing in recent years, I'd probably support the Pistons if I cared at all about the NBA (I'm more interested in college basketball during March Madness). And while the Tigers haven't won a World Series in my lifetime, they have won two AL pennants over that same time frame, so I'm hopeful I'll live to see them win their next WS championship.
      I also have a soft spot for most Chicago teams (including the Bulls, despite the rivalry with the Pistons) since those teams are often the most popular in Michigan after Detroit teams (and the Packers, in the case of the Upper Peninsula) and also because my uncle and his family used to live in Chicagoland before moving down South when I was about eight or nine.

    Ironically, my fandom seems to run counter to whatever was the "popular team" at the time, cause yeah, I was kind of a rebel myself. NHL, supported the Capitals right when the Red Wings were (ahem) red hot. NFL, threw my support to the Ravens cause I don't like the Steelers faithful (although that has changed just slightly). NBA, supported the Spurs cause everybody swoons over the Lakers. MLB, baseball has never really been my favorite sport, but I do nominally support the Nationals or Orioles mainly cause of my Capitals/Ravens fandom.

And the Caps have always been my favorite since going to my first game against the Thrashers of all teams wayyyy back in 2001. I’ll admit that I shed a tear when they won the cup because I thought they’d never get over that hill. I have a soft spot for all Detroit teams for some reason as well as the A’s and Cubs. And then for hockey, the Wings are my 2nd eastern team and the Jets and Coyotes are my western teams. If you ever get the chance Shannon, you should come out east and catch a game at Camden Yards and PNC Park. Two of the best places for baseball.

    For me I split the teams I cheer for between Wisconsin and North Carolina. This is because my most of family is in Wisconsin and most of my family is originally from Wisconsin. I was born and raised in North Carolina. And so like I said my teams are split between the two states....
    NFL: Green Bay Packers
    NHL: Carolina Hurricanes
    MLB: Milwaukee Brewers
    NBA: Milwaukee Bucks
    MLS: Charlotte FC
    PLL: Carolina Chaos
    Other than these I do watch tons of other leagues and sports. I do have lots of other favorite teams with those leagues and sports. One you brought up is the CFL. I am a huge Montréal Alouettes fan. That started when one of my favorite Packers players Ahman Green went to play for them at the end of his career and I started following them. I then fell in love with the team and then later a former Packers head coach Mike Sherman came for a few years and that was cool too. Very happy they won Grey Cup 110 this year! It was a really awesome game to watch!

    Bengals fan since 1970 but haven't followed football in a long time, so that kind of has died. But they were my #1 team in any sport, and I have my old pre-stripes style Bengals helmet on proud display in my living room, for sentimental and nostalgic reason. Baseball, it's been the White Sox since I started watching baseball as a 7 year old in 1968. I think a combination of Hoyt WIlhelm and loving Comiskey Park, even just seeing it on TV. Hockey, which is my favorite sport, I never had any real favorite team. I guess the Flames, who I root for, but it's not live-or-die with them. I never had a favorite team at all until Joey Mullen, hometown boy, went to Calgary and I've rooted for them fruitlessly ever since, except for 89. I also like the Islanders and Ottawa, but in hockey I'm more of a fan of the sport than any one team. I usually don't care who wins as long as the game is entertaining.

    My favorite teams have a very complex background, but all things considered, it’s quite simple.
    I am a panthers fan, born and raised in South Carolina and watched us pick Cam and Luke. Nothing much more, I will always be with the blue. Packers are fun to watch, and the lions were always that-team-i-liked-when-they-suck, but now they don’t lol.
    I am a Braves fan for proximity reasons and the fact that I am a huge Greg Maddux fan even though I’ve never seen him play. Nationals will always be the team I left behind after the end of the franchise, but I still turn a game on now and then. The orioles are a favorite of mine based simply off their stadium, their fanbase and the history that place has. I love the Rangers because of Adolis Garcia and Marcus Semien. That’s it lol. Twins because Minnesota baseball has always been a really intriguing concept to me.
    Blackhawks fan because the first time I ever watched hockey it was the time they won the Stanley Cup. I wanted to be a Maple leafs fan at one point, but jeez that fanbase takes everything so seriously, especially when they found out I owned a Connor Bedard Jersey lol.
    Celtics and Indiana are fun to watch, but I’m currently in a two team tandem between the Hawks and the Clippers.
    Manchester City because that was the team I always used in FIFA back in the day, Tottenham because I’ve grown up.

The Rays are only good because their front office is amazing and I'm worried Erik Neander will be poached by a larger market team like when the Dodgers poached Andrew Friedman from us.

Loved those teams led by Ken Stabler into the Jim Plunkett era.

Wolves are on a TEAR rn and it’s incredibly fun to watch. Same with Canucks, my favorite team. They are an amazing team to watch, always make it interesting but fun too

    Most of the teams I like are based on their rosters. Edmonton is a very enjoyable team to watch, so at the moment I am a big fan of the Oilers. I also like the Leafs, despite having only lived near Toronto for about a year. I moved around a lot as a kid, so I guess I never laid down roots enough to become a homer and cheer for whatever "my team" was lol.
    Some teams I also found myself drawn to during particularly epic playoff runs. The Kings in 2012. The Penguins in 2016 (seeing Kessel win the cup was such an amusing/cool moment to me) In the past, this also happened with the 2003 Mighty Ducks, and also lead to my long standing dislike of the Devils. That one was so long ago now, however, I don't really care about either team anymore. Still adore Paul Kariya though, and still despise Scott Stevens haha
    Oh yeah, it's only hockey too. Don't really have any interest in the ball sports lol

    I’m not a fan of basketball at all. I was somewhat back in the day of Bird, Magic, etc., but no team.
    Baseball I was a Dodgers fan as a kid. In ‘83 a friend of my Dad’s(Bobby Lillis) was the bench coach for Roger Craig in SF, so I became a Giants fan until Bruce Bochy went to Texas, so now I’m a Rangers fan.
    In football, I guess I’ve been a Broncos fan since the 80’s, as I followed the career of Elway from Stanford and on.
    Hockey, When I was a kid in Alberta, I followed the Bruins and Red Wings, again because a neighbor of ours in Lethbridge(Vic Stasiuk) played for both teams. Moving to California, I followed the Kings from 67-78, and then became an Oilers fan when they entered the NHL, and have been ever since, through the good, the bad and the present ugly.😂

I got a feel’s good with an MLS cup in 2021 via NYCFC but besides that it is usually pure misery, especially with the Jets and Mets. Thankfully the Islanders have been hangin in there so far, hopefully they can keep it up and make the playoffs but I’m not going to hold my breath. I like the Padres in baseball also, they’re probably the team i watch most besides the Mets, was hoping they would get to do something with Juan Soto but it appears it was not in the cards. Maybe one day they’ll get there. Keep up the great work, another great year of

Before the Kraken joined the league I would root for the Canucks as the only team representing the Northwest, and there were a decent number of us down here as well.

    I believe that you should inherit or choose one team in each sport, and then you stick with that team until you die, no matter how much they make you suffer. I was taken to the REAL Yankee Stadium as a child, and that was the most memorable day of my youth. My teams are the Yankees (3rd generation fan, inherited from my Dad), Colts (inherited from my Dad), Capitals. I enjoy watching hockey the most of any sport, but the Yankees will always be the team that I care about more than any other.
