Default CP Posters: Love/Hate Relationship With Each Other

I just got to thinking reading the thread on other teams players posting on a forum like this, how I can like a player but hate the team.

Same goes for fans. All of my dearest and best friends cheer for teams different than I. I don't have any friends around here who are Flames fans.

For that camaraderie I turn to the interweb and this site.

Now as a Flames fan, I know almost everyone here is as well. Which gives us all a bond over our team, almost like we're brothers.

That said, most here are Stamps fans as well. (Mind you I don't follow the CFL like I used to, and there seems to be more Stamps fans, yet no one really follows the league that closely here).

I don't watch the NFL or NBA. However summer months bring baseball (heck starts tomorrow for me!)

I guess I'm wondering how many of us love each other in the winter and hate each other in the summer?

Personally I'm one of only 7 Texas Rangers fans on the planet (that includes the fans in the State of Texas as well, haha).

Personally I loathe, hate and despise Seattle. Can't stand them, I hope they lose every game of the season. I also can't stand Oakland, I hope they lose every game of the season, except for the games against Seattle.

I'm curious how a group of people who can bond so tightly over one team, turn into mortal enemies over another.

I guess the point I'm getting at is:

What are your favourite sports teams:

NHL - Calgary Flames
CFL - Calgary Stampeders
CHL - Cape Breton Screaming Eagles
MLB - Texas Rangers
NFL - (anyone but the Patriots really)
NBA - (anyone but the Lakers count here? Even if they do win I don't really care)
EPL - Manchester United
CIS - CBU Capers
NCAA - BYU Cougars (it's a funny story if nothing else)
