My dad doesn't really watch sports that much. He's a casual Saints and LSU fan, he doesn't watch basketball or baseball. So yes, we pull for the same teams, he just doesn't care nearly as much as I do.

Yes. The main teams of LSU and the Saints at least. I became a fan of my favorite teams from watching and going to the games with my Dad growing up. It was just one of the things we expected to do with each other.

Yes.

LSU and Saints mainly. Both are obviously USMNT fans.

He has adopted the Red Sox cause he likes to root for sports with me.

Father is the reason for me being a fan of the Cowboys and Astros (he grew up in Texas).. Mother is an Alabama alum which is what caused me to be an Alabama fan (I'm an alum now as well)

The only time we disagree is on Sundays. I am with the Saints and he is with the Cowboys. My love for the Saints comes from my mother.

My dad is a big sports fan. Works in sports radio, some TV, and full time dealing with local athletes. But he honestly does not have any teams he really roots for hardcore. He likes LSU, but he's not a fan to the level I am. He goes to every Saints game and sits in the booth, but I honestly don't think he cares who wins. Hes got random sports shirts from UCLA to Texas to LSU. He's great to discuss sports with (especially when he talks with the guys who have some inside info), but he just doesn't have the same passion.

Father is an UNC Alumn and Bball fan. Can't say I've ever pulled for them. Raised me as a huge ACC bball fan and general sports fan though. Older brother influenced me more as a Clemson fan.

NFL, no. My dad is a Green Bay Fan. I'm a Saints fan. Couldn't tell you about college. I assume we are both Rockets and Astros fans, but I also can't confirm it.

Yes, we're both Saints and Southern Miss fans. He doesn't really have an SEC favorite, I contracted my Aubie fandom from my bro-in-law.
Pops was so proud of the Saints when they made it to the Super Bowl that he drank beer during the game from a Saints Jax beer mug that he got when they first came about in the 60's. One of the few things he had that survived both Hurricanes Camille and Katrina, btw.
