My favorite sports team is the Atlanta Falcons. The story of why is the interesting part though. The first football game that I can remember watching was the 1999 Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and the Atlanta Falcons. I decided to pick the Falcons to win that game at the ripe age of 6 and I've been with them ever since. For those of you that aren't familiar with what happened that day, the Denver Broncos crushed my Atlanta Falcons. 18 years later, the Falcons had the opportunity to avenge their previous Super Bowl loss against the New England Patriots. After leading 28-3 late in the third quarter, the Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in football history to win the game in overtime. The Falcons crushed my hopes of winning the Super Bowl, but there's a funny thing about fandom. I'll never stop cheering for the Falcons. I've been with them through the worst times and I know that when they do win that first SUper Bowl, it will make things that much sweeter.
@brandonp Yes those are some heart breaking moments. I will share moments even worse. The day my beloved Raiders pack up from Oakland (15 mins from me) and moved to LA! OK I accepted that they were still a California based team(I never said LA) "The Raiders". Second moment. John Gruden being dismissed as Head Coach and joining Tampa Bay and then beating us in the Super Bowel. Third Raiders now moving out of California and going to Las Vegas, (total bull shit) I have been a loyal fan for 44 years now to have this happen. Now here's the worst moment I live in San Francisco Bay area where the 49ers are located as well. With the 49er dynasty winning 5 SB's in the 80's and the Raiders playing like shit for decades I have to hear it from these niner fans while trying to maintain my loyalty to my childhood chosen team. As far as Denver crushing the Falcons that game. Try living with Denver crushing you every single Monday night game in front of the world.!!!! Shanahan always beat us. Shotenheimer (KC) did too!! So worst times mean something different to each of us. Like Buffalo Bill said in Silence of the Lambs, "You don't know what pain is!"

My favorite team is Real Salt Lake. Why? Excellent question, it seems that most folk here in the US don't seem to think of Soccer as being a real sport, and yet none of them have ever tried spending 90+ minutes running, sprinting, and attempting to control a ball up and down a pitch.
I enjoy RSL because they have heart, tenacity, and they aren't as major of a club as say the LA Galaxy, but play as hard as they can with what they have. I also love that they somehow manage to have a "friendly" every 1-4 years with my favorite team across the pond; the one and only Manchester United.
Resteemed!
Since I was 6 I loved Basketball. It was always a big part of my life and helped me make friends and experiences. I can only assume that my life would have been so different if basketball wasn't part of my life...
Also, my favorite NBA team is Minnesota Timberwolves because my friend dragged me to their games ever since I was little and it was just so much fun!
Good comment, i hope you will win!
Thanks!
The Toronto Blue Jays!
They are Canada's only MLB team, plus they are reasonably close (4 hrs)to my home.
The New England Patriots. Let me add that I am born and raised in New England. The dominance of the Patriots is the result of an owner, head coach, and quarterback/team captain who demand perfection from themselves and their teammates. If Kraft, Bill, and Brady all ended up involved with other teams I do not believe that any of them would hold the same number of rings. It is a joy to watch how the Patriots play. Even in times of extreme adversity they are always top competitors. Last year's Superbowl was a prime example of how brains, skill, patience, and poise can bring you back from almost any point deficit. I'm hoping the Patriots can keep it going and be solidified as the greatest American football dynasty of all time...of course I think they are already!
My favorite team WAS the Quebec Nordiques. I was from the city and enjoyed going to their games even when they were at the bottom. But they left for Colorado and won the Stanley Cup :(
My favorite sports team is always the underdog. In any and all major sporting events I always root for the underdog team. This way I can always have a team to root for even if my local teams are not playing. For example I am rooting for the Eagles in the upcoming Super Bowl because they are the underdogs even though I am not normally a fan of theirs.
Upvoted and resteemed! Keep up the good work!
My Favorite Sports Team growing UP was the California Angels, I grew up in California and Loved Baseball and playing it all through School. Thank You @o07 for giving us an Opportunity to WIN some Gold and SBD.........Resteemed and UP Voted this.
I'm a rugby boy at heart and my favourite team is obviously the national team. C'mon WALES!!
But I do follow a bit of football (and yes you yanks it's called football not soccer. FOOT-ball, a sports played with your foot and a ball). My favourite team is the Arsenal. I've support hen for 30yrs. Couldn't tell you why I do, it was just a team I picked when I was a kid and it stuck. Possible because one of my oldest friends was an Aston villa fan and arsenal were alphabetically above them in the list... Who knows??
