Why is your favorite sports team your favorite sports team?

[coolnificent]

• For me, I have been a Raider fan since 1994 when I first started playing Tecmo Bowl
  
  and I always picked them because there was a sticker on my door at my granny's house with the logo.
• As for the Spurs, since 1996 when I found out about David Robinson, he had the same last name as my dad so I assumed he was family
  

So why are you a fan of your team? Location, they always won (Jordan era Bulls), or inherited.

Arkansas Razorbacks - Born n raised in da Natural State
Memphis Tigers basketball - College life in M-Town made me one.
Georgia Bulldogs football - One of my cousins is from Columbus,Georgia and she goes to UGA.
Philadelphia Eagles - Wanted a new face to win the Super Bowl, liked Donovan McNabb, and I hate the Cowboys
Atlanta Falcons - Atlanta is my favorite city in the U.S. and my fave colors are red and black.
Atlanta Braves - Been watching their games on TBS and admired young Chipper and the sick pitching of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz since I was achild and officially became a lifelong fan.
Miami Heat - Mourning, Hardaway, Glen Rice were my fave three players back then.

Dallas Cowboys: They're all I've ever known when it comes to football; I'm pretty sure I came out of the womb with a Cowboys mini helmet on.I've never even asked my father how or why he became a Cowboys fan, but I've been one since day one, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cleveland Indians: Home team.

New Orleans Hornets: Chris Andersen is one of my favorite athletes. When they drafted Chris Paul, it was official. I never really had a favorite NBA teambefore that, only favorite players.

West Virginia Mountaineers: Most of my family is from West Virginia; I was raised on WVU football.

Gonzaga Bulldogs: They were the first (and only) college basketball team that I've ever followed. I just love the way they do things (style of play,recruiting, coaching, etc.).

[CP1708]

I grew up watching the Lakers and Cubs with my father.

As for football it is pretty simple really. One day i found this old hat in a pile of stuff at my house. It was a Miami Dolphins hat in the style of thoseold Pittsburgh Pirates hats, with the 3 lines that go all the way around the hat in a circle. Well, I found the hat, liked it and started to wear it everyday. (I was like 7 or

so then I decided to start following them. That's when I saw Dan Marino and the things he could do. Was hooked ever since. Soonafter, I saw a football game coming on with Miami, but it was the Canes instead of the Dolphins, but I watched anyways and they got me too with all the swagand the long bombs and the big hits. After that I just started following both Miami teams even though I lived in Cali.

[allen3xis]

Georgetown - "Us against the world" mentality, the physical play. John Thompson. I loved everything they stood for, and how they played. They were myfavorite team before Iverson, but then he came and I've followed them religiously ever since.

Notre Dame Football - All I knew for college football...I had 3 channels on the TV as a kid, they were on every week. Derrick Mayes, Mark Edwards, AutreyDenson

New York Knicks - From my mom, her favorite players were Clyde and then Pat...And then I grew up in the 90's. Plus they're from NY

[illmaticsoulchild]

Lakers- Late 80's to '96. From Showtime to the Sedale Threatt, Elden Campbell, Tony Smith, Terry Teagle Era
Clippers- '97 to present. The "other" underdog L.A. team. Really started routing for them once they got rid of the Headbanger bums.

[DeadsetAce]

Peep the sig.... The Boston teams are cause of hometown. Hoyas because I went there. Arsenal originally because of Henry and since then I've followedalong. Wolverines because when I was a kid I loved their helmets.

 

[newbs24]

Michigan Wolverines, Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, Lions = I live in Michigan

Chicago Bulls = My cuz is from Illinois and he got me hooked on Jordan and the Bulls back in 1987.

I am a firm believer in rooting for 1 team per sport and never changing that. I know many that are the same but also know many that jump around. The diehardsfor certain teams are the more knowledgable fans IMO.

Boston Celtics- How could you like the Knicks? Really becuase of my dad.
FSU football- Peter Warrick
