Don_Simon Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 For the NBA, I'm Nets till the end. And was before this "superteam" of 2021 means they can't defend for toffee. NFL, Seattle Seahawks. Given the time differences I rarely watch either sport, but listen to lots of NBA podcasts. It's nice to have an interest in a sport where I don't really care what happens.

Beastmix Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 If we're doing other North American sports: MLS: Montréal Impact (due to personal ties to MTL - I visited Stade Saputo a couple of years ago) NHL: Montréal Canadiens NBA: Orlando Magic (I grew up during the SHAQ, Penny Hardaway, and Horace Grant era) I'd rather eat my own eyes than watch baseball.

Rds1983 Posted June 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'm always surprised how many people in the UK seem to have an interest in Northern American sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something you naturally think of as popular over here. I've watched a lot of NFL and played a lot of Madden when living with a bunch of yanks in Sweden. Could never really get into it. Too slow and too long, 10 seconds of play followed by 2 minutes of talking about and planning the next 10 seconds of play. Watching it seemed to be more focused on allowing for lots of talking /drinking rather then actually watching the game and I'm not used to that as we'd do that before/after. Playing rugby I was always comparing it to that too and couldn't get passed how much body armour they wear and having had an 18 stone man give me a running knee to the temple (horrible concussion and my boss called me elephant man for a week), I'm not sure I buy the 'they tackle harder line'. It's better then baseball though, that's like an even more boring version of cricket. It's good that other people enjoy it though, world needs variety and I'm sure I enjoy plenty of things other people don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have posted this in the "Things You Don't Get" thread rather than the section where everyone loves NFL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I grew up outside of Detroit, so I'm naturally a fan of all the Detroit teams: NFL - Lions NBA - Pistons NHL - Red Wings MLB - Tigers (If I'm forced to watch baseball) Footie - Detroit City FC (Fook MLS!!!) College Sports - I went to a school without athletics, so I never got into college sports as heavily as some, but I usually support Michigan State over other teams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to visit Detroit. From what I've read it's a "proper" city. Not really sure what I mean by that, but it appeals regardless!

Eidolon Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Eidolon - Arizona Cardinals I got to go to a couple of NFL games when I was living in the states, the first of which was an AZ stomping of Detroit and they didn't seem like the traditional bandwagon team so I jumped on board...its not been suuuuuper fruitful I won't lie but this team actually looks pretty OK with Kyler, Hopkins, Green, Jones, JJ Watt, Kirk et al ....DEM BIRBS!!

Shame I can't edit the original post anymore Crazy… just flicked through the entire chat. Suffice to say I never properly followed up my support of a team.. I have visited San Fran since choosing them and purchased a 49ers shirt whilst there… but I haven’t seen a game in years! I’ve kinda started following the NBA now and the Bucks!
