Let's be honest, who does NOT sometimes find themselves rooting for the underdog? Did you find yourself rooting for the 76ers last night? Are you going to be rooting for the Hawks? A little part of me was...
Ya know I was upset, actually I was pissed at the goonery of the Phlyers in early season. They were a black eye on the game and easy to hate. Somehow now I can't help but be impressed with their level of play in the playoffs. The team hooliganism is far gone and I can't help but pull for them, as much as I thought I'd like to see the Habs advance.
I can't root against my own team either, and when they are playing the teams that they should beat... I actually hope they tear them apart... lol.
I agree about the Flyers, too. The last few seasons I've generally been rooting for them because they had some decent teams, but early this year it looked like they were reverting back to the Broad Street Bullies. But then, something happened and they started playing a more "honest" game, shall we say? I've found myself rooting for them again, even though they're playing the last Canadian team in the playoffs...
We have a home in L.A. as well as one in Atlanta. The Lakers have been my team since my dad took me to my first game in 1967 when i was 9. But i would definetly like to see the Hawks upset the C's. Dont think it will happen, but talk about the upset of the year,lol.
Hell yeah! Its always good to root for the underdog as long as its not your favorite team. Whenever the Yankees lose the World Series its always good to see...ditto for the Patriots in the previous Superbowl.
I'm a Toronto sports fan. The Maple Leafs are my hockey team, the Raptors are my basketball team, and the Blue Jays my baseball team. I'll do what I can to stick with them through good times and bad, and always hope for the best. Lately, the Raps have been my number one team, and the one that has the best future right now.
I'll have my opinions that may be shared by others, or not. However, they are just opinions which are intended to get others to think differently about whatever topic they may be.
