Your Most Hated Team in Sports
 

Thought this would be an interesting thread

NHL - I myself as a Habs fan hate the Leafs, my god it frustrates me to no end how they get so blindly supported after all the shit they put their fans through.

NBA - Utah Jazz - I remember watching years ago, Chicago playing them in the playoffs and winning. Last NBA game I ever watched.

NFL - New Orleans Saints - I only recently started being a casual football fan and Requeim got me rooting for the Colts, so I was a bit disappointed after the Superbowl. Not hate, but more dislike.

MLB - Yankees - Sorry peeps on here who are fans, but I cant stand the team at all. When and if I do watch the once in a blue moon baseball game, its the Red Sox vs Yankees.

Boston Celtics

I'm a Red Sox fan and I actually hate the Rays as much as I hate the Yankees.

The Lakers as well. Cant stand them.

Maybe its the whole Kobe Bryant thing.

Also, Miami Heat, because Lebron James dragging out his signing.

Same for who Kovalchuk signs for, christ the wait is getting on my nerves.

MLB - Dodgers, White Sox, Yankees
NBA - Lakers

As a boy growing up and being a passionate Newport RFC season ticket holder I hated Cardiff with a passion. And the fact they always beat us by like 2 points every time. Add that it was our biggest derby game every season, I really fucking hated them. This is back in the good old days of professional club rugby in Wales. Rivalries are almost non existent these days with the regions :(

Never really properly hated another team in sports though. I guess I really dislike the Miami Dolphins.

You can add the Indianapolis Colts, LA Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, and now the Miami Heat to that list

If I were a lifelong fan, I would tell Jeritron to go fist himself.

NBA - Lakers
NHL - Canucks
NFL - Raiders
MLB - Dodgers

Australian Rugby Team.

Melbourne Storm. Cheating cunts :o

NFL - Chargers
NBA - Lakers
NHL - Red Wings
MLB - Padres

MLB - Yankees
NFL - Steelers
NHL - Penguins
NBA - um..dont have one

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a bunch of faggots.
The Chicago Cubs are a bunch of faggots.

MLB - Yankees
NFL - Dolphins
NHL - Habs
NBA - Lakers

Bruins, Leafs

Currently:

NHL Western Conference - Detroit Red Wings
NHL Eastern Conference- Toronto Maple Leafs
MLB National League - Altlanta Braves
MLB American League - New York Yankees

I thought the Cubs were lovable losers?

MLB - red sox
NFL - Patriots
NBA - Nets
NHL - Islanders

FA's favourite team right now is the Blackhawks because they won the cup, so naturally he hates the Wings.


NHL: Wings, Habs and Sens
NBA: Lakers by a mile.
NFL: Jets, Steelers
MLB: Yankees, Tigers
EPL: Man U

Actually, I like the Wings.

You can go fuck yourself, you leaf loving pussyfaced cocksucking bitch :)

NFL: Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Kentucky Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders

MLB: New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Kentucky Reds

NBA: LA Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers

NHL: Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings

Nascar: Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Brian Vickers, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin

LOL Kentucky

great joke fag!

NBA: Lakers
NFL: Patriots
MLB: I do not watch this fucking sport

Sounds like most of you hate teams that are usually champions in their league.

I dislike the Yankees and Rays because they are rivals of the Red Sox.
I dislike the Colts and Jets because they are rivals of the Patriots.
I dislike the LA Lakers because they are rivals of the Celtics.
I dislike the Giants because of NY and Superbowl 42.
I dislike the Canadiens because they are rivals of the Bruins.

I dislike the Cowboys as a franchise, mostly because of Jerry Jones and Tony Romo. I just can't stand the Cowboys. Dunno.
I dislike the Miami Heat because, well, I hope they never win a damn thing. Let's just leave it at that for now.

So most of my hated sports teams are directly related to my hometown teams. I don't hate teams or cities just for winning championships, since I'm from a city that gets that all the time.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Dallas Cowboys/Philadelphia Eagles

Atlanta Braves/New York Yankees

Cleveland Cavaliers although I really only hated them because of James LeBron and beating the Wizards 3 years in a row in the playoffs. Not really sure if I hate the Heat more now or what.

I hate the Steelers, fucking cunts
I hate the Saints, fucking thiefs...WHO DEY trumps WHO DAT assholes

Then I hate the Cavs now, all because of Gilbert. I also hate the Lakers, Celtics, and the rest of the NBA not based in Miami

I love the Reds, so I hate the Cardinals, and Indians

NHL - Montreal I guess

NBA - No one really.

NFL - Oakland Raiders with the Dallas Cowfags a close second.

MLB - Yankees

Everton and Man United.

and Liverpool University Basketball team :shifty:

Liverpool
Sunderland

New England

NASCAR isn't a sport and doesn't count in this discussion.

<font color=goldenrod>MLB: Pretty much every team in the NL East except the Nationals, who I'm starting to hate more and more each time the Mets play them. Hatred for the other teams tends to depend on the previous year. This year I hate the Phillies the most but that could change next year. Also hate the Yankees as does every non-Yankee fan.

NFL: Fucking hate the Cowboys and Eagles. Don't think I could pick. Put a gun to my head and I'd PROBABLY say the Cowboys because of Jerry Jones, but it's 1-A and 1-B. Redskins are annoying but a distant third for now. Fuck the Patriots, too.

Don't really follow NBA and NHL enough to hate any teams. When I was younger and all into Ewing's Knicks I despised the Bulls but now I really don't give a shit.</font>

MLB: Red Sox and Mets.

NFL: Cowboys.

NBA: Bulls and Heat. (stemming from the 90s, FUCK YOU RILEY).

NHL: Haven't followed hockey really since late 90s so I can't comment.

Oh and the Lakers and Yankee's.

McLaren. Cheating fucking cunts who everyone in this country seems to love because "they're British". Kinda like Button, but Hamilton's a boring little scrote of a man too.

Yup, British spying on other teams and lying to the stewards. Stay classy, McLaren :y:

Yes it is, so it does.

Duke....I hatttte DUKE

ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh fuck I forgot about them, hate those little cocksuckers.

MLB: Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, and Braves
NFL: Cowboys and Giants
NBA: Celtics, and Lakers. I'm sure in like 6 months the Heat will be on the list.

NHL: Montréal Canadiens
NFL: Detroit Lions (fuck 'em)
MLB: New York Yankees
NBA: Los Angeles Lakers

switching Chelsea for Leeds United and putting them all fucking equal. cunts.
vermin, scum and bitters

and this. abhor Hamilton, cheeky little shit moves to Switzerland to avoid payinbg tax as soon as he gets paid.... bet he benefitted from plenbty for his other 20+ years. cheeky cunt

Baseball: Arizona D'bags, Yankees
NFL: Patriots
College Football: USC (The Trojans), Clemson
Nascar: The whole fucking thing. What a waste of Petroleum.

Man Utd
Spurs
Stoke
Bolton

Doing 1 left turn for 2 hours is not a sport. It's a Sunday drive.

Hating the Lions is like hating the retarded kid in school.

DAMN iNATOR clearly has self-loathing issues.

Spoken like people lacking certain knowledge:
1: How difficult it is to turn an 800 hp car at 185 mph while inches from 42 other machines.
2. How much R&D from Nascar is on the cars you see on the road, increasing safety and performance.
3. Studies show it takes less fuel to run Nascar all season than it does any other sport.

Chinesse algebra is hard. Does that make it a sport too?

I find 3 hard to believe.

I know how hard it is to turn an 800 hp car at 185 mph while inches from 42 other rolling billboards. I also know how hard it is to change 4 tires, gas up a car, and wash the windows in under 20 seconds.

Does that mean I give a shit? FUCK no. I don't give a shit about the rednecks driving left for 2 hours. Though if one of those things were to fly into the stands, it would improve the gene pool immensely.

its shit get over it pal. it's for retards.

oh and I would also like to add (although need strictly a team) malcolm fucking glazer...cunt

Yankees, Lakers, and Duke is my Trinity of Hate.

Every other team is either a part time or only hated for a short period like currently Penguins because it seems NHL does everything to make sure Crosby is good and Florida football mostly because ESPN over hypes them and SEC. I don't like the Rays in MLB but that more of them becoming too good and hurting the Red Sox in series matchups while the Red Wings in NHL would be more because of their fans than the team itself.

I understand those who it's just not for them. Not their cup of tea. Soccer isn't everyone cup of tea. Heck I know some who can't stand football but you can't argue with these numbers. Just don't rip on something till you actually did it and my guess is none of you have actually drove a car at that speed with others around you. There must be alot of rednecks..

Top 10 Attended Sporting Events

1. Indianapolis 500, @ 300,000. In 2004, the Indianapolis Star finally undertook a monstrous effort to count exactly how many seats are at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Their count? 257,325. And while hundreds of thousands of people could fit into the infield, observation by trained analysts has indicated that far fewer than that actually did. So we're looking at about 300,000 people in attendance at every 500.

2. Brickyard 400, @ 300,000. Sort of a cheat, because like the Indy 500, this NASCAR race is held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. All of the above stats apply, of course.

3. Daytona 500, @ 250,000. NASCAR attendance figures are notably slippery. The tracks themselves don't release figures, so attendance estimation is often left to a media member who stands in the press box, surveys the stands, and estimates attendance at "about X." Now, that guess could be right on the money, or it could be off by 50,000. Still, combining the grandstands and the infield at Daytona gets you a figure of about a quarter-million. And only five of them aren't Dale Earnhardt fans.

4. Texas Motor Speedway races, @ 171,000. Everything's bigger in Texas, especially attendance figures, and Texas's two NASCAR races draw about 171,000 fans apiece. And this won't be the last time Texas shows up on this list.

5. Kentucky Derby, @ 165,000. As with the NASCAR races, it's difficult to estimate exactly how many people pile into the infield at Churchill Downs. Though the number who remain sober through the entire Derby afternoon remains pegged at a steady 0.

6. Tie, Bristol races, Talladega races, @ 160,000. This past spring marked the first time a Bristol race hadn't sold out in decades. Prior to that, hundreds of thousands of race fans descended on this tiny hamlet in the Tennessee hills, created the largest city for a hundred miles in any direction, and then vanished as quick as they arrived. And although Talladega's attendance has dipped sharply in recent years, the stadium and the infield can handle in excess of 160,000 fans -- plus a few thousand more in the surrounding campgrounds who couldn't make their way through the gates.

7. Baseball, 115,300. This figure's a bit of a stretch, since the average baseball game is in the 30,000 range. But in 2008, the Dodgers and the Red Sox held an exhibition game in the L.A. Coliseum, and the result was the most widely attended game in baseball history.

8. Michigan football, 112,000. The universities of Michigan and Tennessee leapfrog one another in attendance, adding on bleachers atop bleachers in some bizarre arms race. The Wolverines currently hold the edge, but it won't be long until the Volunteers step up.

Tie 9. Tennessee-Penn State football @ 109,000. Both stadiums (Neyland at Tennessee and Beaver at Penn State) have undergone numerous expansions in their history. Tennesee set an attendance record in 2004 against -- who else? -- Florida. (Side note: in 2005, a promoter tried to schedule a Virginia Tech-Tennessee game in Bristol, which would have broken all team sport records for attendance. Tech was willing, but Tennessee was not.) A crowd of 110,753 watched Penn State destroy Nebraska 40-7 back in 2002.

10. NBA, 108,713. Set only a few months ago, this gargantuan exhibition demolished the old record of attendance for an NBA game, previously 62,046 at the Georgia Dome when the Hawks played the Chicago Bulls in what appeared to be Michael Jordan's swan song. And where was it played? Funny you should ask ... a little old place in Texas that shows up again, next on the list.

10. NFL, 105,121. A legit regular-season game by the Dallas Cowboys when opening their new stadium in a game against the Giants last fall. Sure, tens of thousands watched from a standing-room plaza, and many others couldn't even see the field, but so what?


So that being said, even with declining numbers there are more "rednecks" out there then you all think.

I'm sure I will get flamed or told I am stupid as well, I expect it. Just wanted to bring a few more facts to light.

Also to answer the actual question of the topic...

NFL: Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys
NHL: Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals
MLB: New York Yankees

Trust me, if I was worried about getting flamed, I wouldn't post this stuff. Nascar is statistically the 2nd most popular sport in the United States after the NFL.

And the fuel study makes sense. They run all the cars on one track every week, instead of flying a bunch of players to 15 different stadiums every day (Baseball, Basketball, or Hockey), or every week (Football).

NFL - Cowboys
MLB - Yankees / White Sox

Stadium capacity is hardly a reasonable measure of popularity. TV ratings, though imperfect, would be a much better gauge.

Proof?

The amount of fuel used is not what makes it a waste.

Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins, Chargers

Any sports team from Toronto as they are always advertised as "Canada's Team." I don't care if they're the only Canadian team in MLB or NBA, they still don't represent all of Canada.

And fucking hell do I hate the Leafs, why must I watch you EVERY Saturday night? I also hate the Calgary Flames.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers
NFL: Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears
MLB: New York Yankees

Baseball: Red Sox,

NFL: Jets and Giants{I am actually a Patriots fan}

I don't have a fave team in Basketball or Hockey.

Aston Villa - Purely cos in Championship Manager (back in the day, now FM) they used to own me every match.

Arsenal - Mainly cos they seem to have an anti-English policy which is only easing as late with Walcott (with a cameo from Sol) and hopefully, Wilshere and Gibbs - two of the future national team here.

W.B.A - Fucking shit. End of.

Hispania F1 - Get out, you don't belong. you never did, you never will. Give way to someone who has the means to take their team forward and actually not make it a sham.

England National Football team - As of this world cup, I find myself with only 1% backing for you. Fuck off you over paid cunts. Until this changes (and by this I mean not beating San Marino 2-0 so everything is ok), fuck off.

MLB: none really, but i do dislike the red sox and yankees
NBA: UTAH tounge copious amounts of monkey rectum
NHL: i hate the penguins, NUFF SED
NFL: both the NY teams,

Lol just because a bunch of hillbilles go to a NASCAR event doesn't make it a sport. It's the only sport rednecks understand " drive straight, turn left, drive straight, turn left, pit stop to ask for directions, drive straight, turn left, drink 6 beers, fuck your sister, drive straight, turn left.

NHL: Senators, Habs and Flyers
NBA: don't care
MLB: Yankees
NFL: Cowboys

Liverpool
Spurs
Man City
Newcastle

Well thats the worst endorsement of a sport said to be for redneck idiots I've ever come across. " The Indianaplois Star finally undertook a monstrous effort to count exactly how many seats ". Are you fucking kidding me. In the year 2004 nobody knew how many seats were in the stadium. That is outstanding.

NHL: New Jersey Devils & Boston Bruins
MLB: Boston Red Sox
NFL: Dallas Cowboys
NBA: don't really watch.....

It's not just that, but comparing attendance figures for a race as opposed to a game in a stadium is kind of ridiculous. Tracks are built to accommodate a few hundred thousand fans whereas the largest NFL stadium barely makes 90,000. Of course the race will be higher since if I can't get Broncos tickets I can watch another NFL game. You can't do that with Nascar or IRL since they only have one race per week per series so people pretty much have to tune in to one place to see their guys.

Now all of that aside I am a racing fan, and it is a sport. All you have to do is look at the definition of the term "sport" to see that it is indeed a sport. You may hate it, which I can definiately understand because even as a fan certain races are beyond boring, but that doesn't make it not a sport. I mean I detest golf, but I'm not going to say it isn't a sport. I mean you can break anything down into it's simplest form "all you do is drive straight and then turn left for 2 hours" well all you do is "try to put a ball in a hole more than the other guy" or "get 300 feet more times in 60 minutes than the other guys" and they all sound dumb.

Yankees, Lakers, Colts

College Football: Ohio State Buckeyes. They have the weakest schedule for the entire season, then they have a game where they have to prove themselves and that's when they choke. They're highly overrated and their stats are inflated. Plus... they can't beat the SEC.

NASCAR: Everyone... I can't stand nascar at all.

Well that missed my point brilliantly. I'm more baffled that they somehow didn't know how many seats were in the stadium and had no idea how many people were turning up.

I didn't miss your point at all, I wasn't even really addressing you. My post was more of a tangent going off of how you were talking about the number of seats.

At least there is physical movement in golf.

Yeah, they're really burning it up out there as well.

Moving more than their arms.

So are the drivers.

Quebec Nordiques.

But I want them back. I need a team to hate.

lol moving your foot forward to push on the gas doesn't count.

:lol: Why not?

Regardless of who does more from sport to sport, if you want a real reason to question Nascar's validity as a sport you could use either the contrived point system they change every few years (could be changed again after this season) or the drama they try to manufacture between the drivers from week to week.

Forest.

Stereotype much? Then I guess the NBA is run back, put ball in hoop, run forth, put ball in hoop, run back, put ball in hoop, drink malt liqour, pull a drive-by, run forth...

Or is that offensive?

At least they are running.

C'mon Gertie, how can you argue with this?

How can I not?

in 16 states, that's considered child abuse.

Luckily, this state isn't one of them...

I miss Jeritron.

I miss Rev. Hallowell and making fun of him with Jeritron

Dallas Cowboys. I fucking hate the Dallas Cowboys. I'm a huge Redskins fan, so the Cowboys are public enemy #1. I really don't hate any other teams outside of just making fun of them, though. And having lived in New York for most of my life, I'm a Yankees fan. Don't shoot me.

Football=Saints and the Patriots. So many bandwagon fans for those teams.

Baseball=Cubs and Braves.

Hockey: Habs.
Football: Jets
Basketball: Lakers.
Baseball: Yankees.

Seems like most people who put this list out just hate winners. I chose direct rivals.

NFL-Houston/Tennessee Titans-Fuck you for 1999. Fuck Kerry Collins. Fuck Jeff Fisher. Fuck Frank Wycheck and that bullshit "Music City Miracle." Buffalo won that game, period!

NBA-Heat. Can't stand anyone on that team aside from Norris Cole and Ray Allen. They seem like okay guys, but the rest of them are twats. Especially Shane Battier.

MLB-Yankees. Have never liked them, ever.

NHL-Dallas Stars. I liked you better when you were in Minnesota.
