I'm not fond of it. Especially the way they are going about it and the rationale. There's a couple of more seasons to get over it.@Pondwater: Why wouldn't you root for the Braves in the new stadium?
What are your favorite teams from NFL,MLB,NBA and NHL?

Generally, to be a Philadelphia sports fan is to suffer (when all our teams are successful, we don't know what to do with ourseves). But the Eagles offer hope right now. And it's probably a better time to be a Sixers fan than any time in the past ten years - provided you don't actually plan on following them or watching any games. They've been mediocre forever. Give me a terrible team with a glimmer of hope than a mediocre team that looks like they'll be stuck there forever.
Phillies are that mediocre team going nowhere, which sucks. Flyers are a disappointment. But this is an Eagles town and they're playing well.
I think I remember you have family in Italy. Where are they from?
Rimini
You're fucked.
I have never been and will never be a Vikings fan. My grandfather played for the Packers- he'd be rolling over in his grave if I donned purple.
Yeah, obviously it doesn't have to be around there. If there's a good reason to like a team I can look elsewhere. I tend to be sympathetic to teams that don't win championships all the time, but, obviously, they have to win enough matches for me to care about them.
NFL NY football Giants
MLB NY Mets
NBA New Jersey Nets
NHL None, hate hockey

NFL: Patriots, 49ers (though not a fan of Harbaugh-era)
MLB: Yankees (by far), Giants
NBA: Lakers, Bulls (don't follow basketball until the finals)
NHL: Wayne Gretzky*
NCAAF: Oregon (more broadly the Pac-12 and B1G)
I also usually root for the Chicago teams, out of hometown loyalty (lived there for a half-dozen years in high school and college). Growing up in Oregon, though, my teams were always the Yankees, 49ers, and Ducks.
*In high school, we were taught to answer "Wayne Gretzky" to any hockey-related question. (That was right about half the time.) When the question included some form of "except Wayne Gretzky", we usually answered with his name anyway; why not? we didn't know anything about hockey beyond the very basic. I'm sorry to say, I still don't.

MLB: Atlanta Braves (sans John Schuerholz)
NFL: Dallas Cowboys (Tony Romo is my favorite Cowboy of all time, even over the mid 90's trio)
NBA: Phoenix Suns (Used to love Barkley when he played, stayed a fan because of Steve Nash)
NHL: N/A

I know, I was just being silly.
In Italy, more often than not (and I do not say it just because it's my own team) people who find their local teams disappointing or find themselves displaced and unable to follow them, turn to Juventus. That's how it got so many supporters (beside being awesome and a winner, of course). So that would probably be your first choice.
Eh, they have a few too many wins. It feels like rooting for them would be like rooting for Manchester United or the New York Yankees.
MLB: Atlanta Braves
NFL: Chicago Bears
FBS: Georgia Bulldogs
FCS: Jacksonville State University Gamecocks
BPL: Everton
League Two: Shrewsbury Town (don't ask)
