How many of you have secondary teams in a given league?

And how actively do you root for them? Do you have any gear for these teams?

I've been watching the Dolphins this season. I don't really root for them, they're just a fun team to watch.

My favorite team is the San Francisco 49ers and my other favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks.

When they play each other I just keep cheering lol

I have always liked New England...although I was in no way enjoying the thrusting I received on Sunday.

Spurs in the NBA too...but, that stems from David Robinson being my favorite player growing up.

I have never, at any point in my life, understood this concept. Pick a fricking team and support them.

When I was a kid, my secondary team in the NFL was the Greenbay Packers. I had a big green G sweatshirt and everything. I was a huge fan of Bret Favre. Once he left, I no longer felt the same way about the franchise.

When I was a little kid, I loved watching Brett Favre and the Packers. I have an old Starter Jacket from 1996 I think.

I'll cheer for them unless their success is detrimental for the Saints.

I find myself pulling for teams, especially if my team is out of the playoffs (common for a Houston sports fan), but I'm not a committed fan to any other teams.

No "secondary" teams, but there are some I enjoy watching; Pats and Broncos are both enjoyable, plus they are AFC teams.

For NBA; Specific players
Lebron, Curry, Dirk, and a few others

I'll cheer for certain players to do well, but would never cheer for their team over my main team

I've been a Red Sox fan since I was a kid also, but the Astros are my first team. I started watching them because my brother was a big fan and they were in a different league than the Astros at the time


I do find it hilarious when all the Kobe dick riders hate on Lebron fans, as if they would be "lifelong" Laker fans if he weren't there

I'm pretty much a 60/40 Spurs/Hornets fan, and I own a lot more Hornets gear. Also a Steelers fan who kind of likes to see the Panthers do well. I would like the Panthers more if they didn't always have at least one huge douchebag on the team (Smith/Cam). My excuse is that I got my favorite teams from my dad, and we didn't have any pro teams in NC when he was growing up.

LSU and Georgia Tech would be the closest thing for me, but they're not really in a "league" together.

I pull for both equally hard, but I'd still want LSU to beat the dog shite out of GT if they went head to head.

I am a fan of the Badgers, Vikings, T'Wolves, and Twins.

I don't necessarily go out of my way to cheer for other teams, but I do enjoy following certain teams each year (i.e. if I have a fantasy player(s) I really like). Never would I purchase any gear, though.

I may casually pull for another team if I like a certain coach or player.

Never enough to buy their gear, though.

I don't have secondary teams but I have teams that I root for because I like certain players, teams are fun to watch, I just wish them well in gerneral, etc.

-Cavs because of Lebron
- UK this year because all that talent and the platoon system is intriguing as hell and fun to watch
- Cardinals in football because of Mathieu and Peterson
- Giants because of OBJ and Randle starting
- Warriors are fun AF to watch

Only the NFL... because I was born in LA, grew up in Houston, then moved back to LA and have lived here ever since.

So it's Saints, then in a distant second place, the Texans.

I don't actively root for the Texans unless I happen to be back there for a game or watching with my Mom. I own none of their gear.
