    is your fav team NOT your local team?

    i dont get this...some people here in toronto have the spurs or the lakers as their fav team. shouldnt you support your home team? how could you cheer against your home team?

    is it wrong to hate your local team?

    The Chicago Bulls are my favorite team. I watched more Bulls games than every team in the league combined this season. ..I had to turn my attention to the Spurs (my 2nd favorite team) because they actually made it to the playoffs and there's that championship they won a month ago [​IMG]

    The closest team to me is the Hawks, and I never cheered for them. I guess you should cheer for your home team, just to show appreciation. I cheer for the Sixers, even though they are a couple of hundred miles away from me.

    my fav team is local. i'll always go for the magic. in football i like the redskins, (cause they were my parents local team) and bucs since they are my local team. i hate the dolphins though. in baseball i cheer for the braves, who are kinda local, but i also like the devil rays as my 3rd fav team.

    I really only watch basketball, I despise football and baseball. Hockey isn't that great, the other sport I like is soccer but MLS sucks and I don't want to pay a whole lot of money for international channels. But I have rooted for AC Milan and Juventus as long as I can remember.
