PRO TEAMS: Baseball, Minnesota Twins
Football, Minnesota Vikings. Also, I root for the Chiefs unless they're playing my Vikes.
Basketball, Don't follow any. I used to be a Celtics fan in a previous life. NBA bores me.
Hockey, Don't follow any. Try to follow the Wild a little. Don't really know the rules to well.
COLLEGE TEAMS: U. of South Dakota - 1st (Mid-major program who plays well & often beats the biggees.)
Iowa Hawkeyes - 2nd
Nebraska Cornhuskers - 3rd (I know they're a rival to Iowa, but still like them)
1. Where are you from? Virginia
2. Which teams do you support?
MLB - Tampa Bay Rays
NHL - Tampa Bay Lightning
NBA - Portland Trailblazers/Charlotte Hornets (For the most part; I think I have stronger teams I dislike)
NFL - New York Giants
NCAA - Virginia; Virginia Tech; any Virginia school really
3. Do you support different teams than most people where your from? Yes, definitely pro-wise
1. Where are you from? Atlanta, GA
2. Which teams do you support?
MLB: Atlanta Braves (hometeam) Boston Red Sox (AL team).
NHL: don't have a team but The Ducks due to the Mighty Ducks movie.
NBA: ATL Hawks ( I'm cheating on them by giving Milwaukee more attention right now because of Giannis).
NFL: Falcons
NCAA: G Tech (Hometeam), UVA and UMD.
3. Do you support different teams than most people where your from?
MLB: Chicago Cubs
NHL: Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks
NBA: Chicago Bulls if any, but I really don't follow the NBA much anymore.
NFL: Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears
College: Ohio State
My maternal grandfather was from Chicago and passed that fandom down to his kids, who largely passed it down to theirs. The fact that I grew up in an era when virtually every Cubs game was on WGN and I could easily follow other Chicago sports that way cemented the other fandoms.
I root for the Bengals because when I was a kid, our family went to tons of Reds games. Despite my father being a Browns fan, it only made sense to me to root for the team that played its home games in the same stadium as the Reds, who I also rooted for well into my 20s. Ultimately, my dad largely giving up baseball after the strike combined with a much more emotional pull toward the Cubs took me in that direction permanently.

Obviously somewhat yes, somewhat no. OSU is king in virtually the entire state. Bengals are the No. 2 NFL team behind the Browns in Columbus. And my initial dislike of the Browns as a kid spread to the Indians and Cavaliers and I do not root for Cleveland teams at all (plus, I find much of their fan base disproportionately loud and obnoxious for what their teams have accomplished over the years).
NHL: Carolina Hurricanes
MLB: Atlanta Braves
NFL: Varies but I'll say Panthers for the sake of argument
NBA: Dallas Mavericks and sometimes the Hornets
MLS: Whatever the new team in Charlotte will be
NCAA: Duke and NC State as family is grads of both, I've also got Wake Forest family ties but I rarely cheer for them.
I support other teams in various circumstances. For example when the Hurricanes were in the playoff race last season I was cheering for the teams playing Montreal and Columbus as those two teams were also in the fight for the last two playoff spots. Speaking of the NHL, I also tend to root for the other Sunbelt teams in the NHL (Predators, Lightning, Panthers, Stars, Coyotes etc.) as long as it doesn't interfere with my own team.
The NHL is the only thing I follow with a passion these days. Football (both college and pro) is getting kind of stale for me and I can't stand the replays and tv timeouts every 3 minutes. Basketball is fun to play but similarly to football, it can take forever to finish a game and the NBA just isn't a lot of fun anymore for me. Baseball is 162 games a year, that's a lot for the casual fan.
2. Which teams do you support?
NFL: New Orleans Saints & Arizona Cardinals
NHL: STL Blues
NBA: None
MLB: STL Cardinals
MLS: Will root for the future STL team
3. I’m originally from the STL area, so I am still a diehard Cards and Blues fan. I also pull for the Canes because they’re local and I like to attend games when I can.

Awful. Was an inaugural season ticket holder with my friends. In the entire time they were in STL, I missed only a handful of games. We tailgated every Sunday...toward the end that was the only real highlight. The team was atrocious. Still, I’m happy to have witnessed a Super Bowl winner. Not everyone gets to say that. The memories of the GSoT will last a lifetime.
After they moved I tried to give up on the NFL for a year, but eventually came back for the camaraderie with my friends across the country. Now I pull for the Saints mainly because of Brees, and the AZ Cardinals because of Larry Fitzgerald and they have more to do with the great STL players (Warner, Aeneas Williams, Dierdorf, Larry Wilson) than what’s out in LA now. The Rams are dead to me. I hope Kroenke chokes to death on his toupee.

lol. I remember TWAs old STL Rams plane. I was young, but it was really cool to see it. STL Rams still have a place in my heart since I grew up in a TWA Household.
I root for the Pirates now due to the fact that their Single A Affiliate is here in Greensboro beginning last season. Before that I rooted for the Marlins. The Marlins had some really good talent play here... Christian Yellich, Mike Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, JT Realmuto, and the late Jose Fernandez.
