    Football: Bears. *sigh*

    Other sports I passively follow. I basically root for Chicago to win. I used to be into baseball when I was a kid, and it is a huge sin to root for both the Cubs and Sox. I take great pleasure in doing that to piss off local people. I was also caught up in the Bulls (basketball) mania in the 90s. It helps when Micheal Jordan is on your team. I used to dislike hockey because I worked in an ice arena and just got burnt out on that culture (as well as figure skating culture), but I have grown to appreciate the Blackhawks and the sport in general.

    Football: Tottenham Hotspurs, England (I don't follow football particularly closely, I'm going to make more of an effort this year)
    Rugby: England (I used to follow Rugby Union too which would see me follow Saracens or Harlequins quite closely as they were fairly local teams to me)

    That's about it, I watch motor sport but don't have a personal fandom for any particular drivers/team though I just enjoy watching the stuff. Particularly I enjoy the WRC.

    American Football: Montana State Bobcats always and forever, even though no one knows we exist. NFL-wise it's Seahawks because of my Seattle roots, and also dat Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch

    Euroball/Povertyball/Welfareball/Footie: This makes me a mega casual but I prefer the big national stuff like the World Cup, Women's World Cup and the like. I'll catch a Sounders FC game if they happen to be on and I'm bored, but everyone knows that MLS is kind of, uh, lacking.

    Baseball: ALWAYS THE MARINERS but >tfw you will never be in the World Series

    Curling: USA sucks at this so I root for Canada by default.

    Horse racing: Whoever wins the Kentucky Derby feckin hell all I want is a Triple Crown winner in my lifetime. this is all I want.

    Football (soccer) - Manchester United, Celtic
    Baseball - New York Yankees
    Female Topless Boxing - No favourites, I just pray the fight goes the distance

    Also, I'm very patriotic (which as an Englishman apparently makes me racist or homophobic or something) so I support England in whatever sport they are currently playing.

    NBA: Boston Celtics (I've supported these guys the longest and this was the team that started my Boston obsession and basically the reason I adopted Boston as the city I support in American Sports)
    NHL: Boston Bruins
    MLB: Boston Red Sox
    NFL: St Louis Rams and New England Patriots (looking like this will change to just the Patriots when the Rams inevitably get moved back to LA)
    AFL: Fremantle Dockers
    Premier League: Arsenal

    NCAAF: Kentucky Wildcats (kinda sad), Oklahoma Sooners
    NCAAM: Kentucky Wildcats (makes up for the football team, and the Reds, and the Bungles)
    Tennis: Federer, the Williams Sisters, because those are two badass powerful women.

    My most important sports allegiance is to The Opponents of Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands in the World Cup.
