Rank your Top5 sports team you root for

[ichigo1057]

1. Carolina Panthers: Self explanatory.

2. Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats: Always loved them when they originally were the Hornets. I hated when they moved to NO and lost a lot of interest in the NBA. It took me a few years to come back to the NBA once the Bobcats became the new Charlotte team but eventually came around and started following them. I love that they were able to get the Hornet name back from NO.

3. Minnesota Vikings: I know some people will crucify me for having a second NFL team , much less another NFC team, on my list, but hell you like what you like. I liked them before then but when Favre joined the team I really thought that was going to the SB season. Another thing that fuels my hate of the Saints >_<. Make no mistake though whenever the Vikings play the Panthers its Panthers all the way.

4.Atlanta Braves: "Local" Pro baseball team and to be honest if the Carolina's were to ever get a Pro team then I would more then likely jump to them.

5.Florida Gators: I don't have a clue why I like them to be honest.

Panthers and Man City. Only team sports I watch.

so you chose which sport each school is best at and rolled with it haha. not hating, just never understood it.

I think accessibility is a major contributor to this. It's easier to pull for USC of Ohio St football because they are on TV. It's harder to pull for their other sports teams because they aren't well covered. So if you were are a fan of one of those teams and lived in NC (ACC) territory, I could see it being easy to adopt a local baskeball team.

Alternatively, I could also see people in other states being fans of UNC or Duke because their games are well covered.

Panthers, then VT football, Colorado Avalanche, VCU Rams basketball in any order.

1. Panthers.

not even close too. Football is my favorite sport to watch, was my favorite to play. Football is king in my house. 

2. Hurricanes. 

Love hockey. Remember watching Penguin games with my dad growing up and playing NHL 94 with him. When we moved to NC in 05 it was just in time for the cup run. I play pick up every once and a while too. Also went to a bunch of games when I lived in Raleigh for school

3. NC State football and basketball 

Love my school and I love Raleigh. Reminds me of good times 

4. Hornets 

I mean they're cool and I watch some games here and there. NBA is just kind of meh to me. If they're playing the same time as the canes, I'm watching the canes. 

Dont really have a baseball team. Growing up I was a braves fan because of their games ring on TBS but then kind of fell out of it once I got into football. I want to watch some more baseball this summer since I'm a school teacher and will be off for the summer. I get all the Nationals and Oriolles games where I live so I might start following one of those teams this summer. Who knows.

1. Panthers

2. Carolina Hurricanes

3. Hornets

4. UNC football

5. Auburn football/UNC basketball/Atlanta Braves

 

Honestly only really follow the Panthers and Canes. Football is my priority, and as good as the Panthers were doing this year, all other sports were dead to me. So, I ended up not keeping up with the Canes closely until these past couple weeks (first season that has happened that I can recall). Used to be a much bigger braves fan. But the handling of that team the past few years just has me disinterested.

2. Carolina Panthers

1. Panthers.  And if we are talking in the sense of teams you root for constantly this is the only one. Others I have interest in if they are good, but could careless otherwise.

2. USMNT and Olympic teams

.

Huge gap in interest

3. UNC basket ball. Don't care about college football. Kinda enjoy College BB as a whole and also like watching duke play, yeah I'm one of those, I have no reason to be loyal to either, but do like UNC more so thats why I list them.

4. Red Sox. Though I really just like going to baseball games in general(usually minor league), doesn't even have to be a teams I like and I'll still have interest in watching a game.

5. Hornets.  Used to be the clear cut #2 but after they left I lost a lot of my interest in the NBA, plus the NBA salary cap structure is currently terrible, hard to keep interest when some teams just have no shot at all.

[davideinstein]

The Hornets are a bizarre situation for me. I followed them as a kid from inception then they moved in high school. I was pissed about the situation with George Shinn moving my first favorite pro team and just wrote off pulling for any NBA team. Went to college in Oklahoma and the Hornets moved to Oklahoma City for two years after Katrina. Everyone here was stoked, except me. The Thunder moved to Oklahoma with Durant/Westbrook, the Bobcats replaced the Hornets and I just had a general disdain for the situation. When the Hornets name was brought back I just went all I'm on them again but it's still a bitter topic. We missed out on Chris Paul and Anthony Davis as far as I'm concerned. 

Adding to that, I love the Hurricanes and the sport of hockey is awesome. I started rooting for them when they first relocated to Greensboro. But I just can't help but think they will eventually move again. Attendance is way down, it's in a college heavy market, the Cup fever has worn off and the owner is not loyal to a city at all. At the end of the day, the Panthers will be around but the other two pro teams from North Carolina aren't even close to as stable.

1. Carolina Panthers

2. Duke Basketball

3. Atlanta Braves

4. Buffalo Sabres

5. Cal State Fullerton Baseball

 

Two years ago, the Braves would have been #1 on the list. Baseball was my life. I just fell out if love with it out if no where. #4 and #5 I'm just a casual fan of and will watch/follow during the season. You could probably make an argument that I follow the USMNT and USWNT more than those two teams, but they are not on as consistently.
