How did you pick your favorite team? (any sport)

Hockey: Toronto Maple Leafs. It's werid when I think about it, because the first ever game I watched was Detroit vs Edmonton in 1988. They tied 3-3. The second game I watched was Toronto vs New Jersey and Toronto won 5-2. lol I remember this because I wrote it in a journal for school. I guess I picked Toronto because they were the first team that I saw win.

Football: New England Patriots. I was a huge fan of Techmo Super Bowl football and the Pats were the worst team in the league. I got really good at the game so I'd always use New England to make it somewhat challenging and it carried on into real life.

Basketball: Utah Jazz. I can't recall how they became my favourite team. I started watching basketball in around Grade 5. I always liked John Stockton and since I was a short white kid maybe I identitfied with him?

Baseball: Toronto Blue Jays. Basically because they were a Toronto team. Started following baseball right after hockey.

College Football/Basketball: Michigan State: Basically I hated Michigan, so they were the logical choice.

Soccer: Chelsea. Had a good friend who got me into soccer a while back and he was a Chelsea fan.
