Do you follow the same teams as your father does?

• newarkcatholicfan

  

  My dad was for the underdog always so the answer to this one for me is no.
  I have liked the same teams in each sport since I started following each sport that they participate
  In.

  Indians
  Browns
  Cavs
  
  Me:
  Notre Dame, Ohio State
  Indians
  Browns
  Cavs
  
  He doesn't dislike Notre Dame, but he doesn't follow them either. He did let me have a Notre Dame room as a kid with Notre Dame wallpaper, pillows, blankets, curtains, trashcans, etc..

  My Dad has been gone for 54 years so it's a little difficult to even recall, but I do know that being a native of Washington D. C. he was a fan of the old Washington Senators. in fact, he supported most teams from that area. Myself, being born in Detroit, adopted the Detroit teams, even though we moved from there when I was three. I don't know why I kept those teams all these years but I have. I'm sure my life would have been much less frustrating athletically speaking, if I had just adopted some front runners at an early age, but I didn't.

• voewoody

  

  Nope, except for Ohio State.. He likes the Browns I like the Bengals.. He is a big Nascar fan and has liked Jeff Gordon since he started racing so I liked Dale Earnhardt. I guess I just wanted to be opposite just so there would be a rivalry.
• cat_lover

  We both rooted for the same teams. My Dad passed away in 1983. Growing up nothing beat watching the Browns with my Dad.
• Little Danny

  

  Dad is a Browns fan, I am a Steeler fan. Dad is a huge Ohio State fan, I root casually for the Buckeyes but my heart belongs to my alma mater UC Bearcats.
• krambman

  

  Yes?
  
  My dad has never been much of a sports fan. He's always played sports but has never had the same enjoyment from watching/following sports like I have.
  
  We're definitely both big Buckeye fans. I'm a Cowboys fan, when he was younger he liked the Dolphins and 49er's. I'm a Yankees fan, and he would probably classify himself as a Red's fan if pressed. He's never followed basketball.

  NHL: Doesn't care
  NBA: Doesn't care
  
  Me:
  CFB: Notre Dame
  NFL: Packers and Browns
  MLB: Reds and Indians
  NHL: Penguins (but that's because of my future father-in-law)
  NBA: Don't follow too closely...but I root for the Cavs.
• justincredible

  

  I've had no contact with my father in the past 15 years so even if I did as a kid I would've switched teams.
  
  My grandfather was a huge Reds fan which is where I get that from. He wasn't a huge football fan, though.
• ManO'War

  

  My dad ditched me when I was born, so I don't know...I don't even think he was a sports fan, since he was all into cars.
  
  But my mom is the biggest Big Red fan that I know, so I guess I got that from her.
• GoChiefs

  

  Nope..but of course..he doesn't watch sports.
• Curly J

  

  I'd have to say yes, but it was/is mainly one team. UK Basketball. I was brought up in the 70's watching the games, with him and his nephew, when they were on TV. We even made it to a few games in the 80's and 90's. (Rupp Arena, Freedom Hall, and the RCA Dome).
  
  It was a common bond with us for years and many times we'd call each other after watching the games. He passed in 2004 and I have to admit I'm not as passionate about it as I once was.

  Lol..nope..when I was growing up..he worked 12 hours a day..six days a week out of town, most of the time..he just never had any time. Any free time he had was spent outdoors hunting or fishing.

  My dad doesn't root for specific teams. He roots for good games and for certain people to win things.
  
  I root for Dallas, Notre Dame, and Seattle Mariners.
