Post Love/Hate
Quick Question for all.

In sports... do you get more pleasure in YOUR team winning, or YOUR rival losing?

Ex.
I enjoy the Colorado Avalanche losing more than I enjoy the Red Wings winning.
I enjoy the Yankees losing more than I enjoy the Red Sox winning.
I enjoy the Ohio State Buckeyes losing the same as I enjoy Michigan winning.
I enjoy the Colts/Cowboys/Chargers losing more than I enjoy the Patriots winning.

It's mainly because I'm a spiteful person and my teams are going to win anyway.

I get much more pleasure when my team wins. Now don't get me wrong, I love it whenever the Yankees, Colts, Jets, Knicks, Lakers, and Canadiens lose, but I take much more pleasure in seeing my team win. And it's especially great when we beat them one-on-one.

I don't think that way. I only care about who wins or loses when it's either:

My team winning in question

A team who's winning that may affect my team in the future

Other than that, rivalries don't figure into what teams I'm rooting for at the moment.

I get pleasure from the Sox, Vikings, Bears, Lions, Celtics, USC, Georgetown losing but not more than Yanks, Pack, Knicks, ND, or Nova winning.

I get more pleasure from the Leafs losing than the Oilers winning, I think. Even more than the Flames losing. Mostly I just hate Toronto. I'm happy when the Jays, Raptors, and Argos lose as well.

But Canada doesn't have any other basketball or baseball teams to root for... That's just mean!

So what's with the Toronto vendetta?

Why aren't you a fan of a New York football team?

My main reason for all the hate is because I live and grew up in Phoenix. Which has had NO good teams, so I've been forced to find other teams to like... and teams to hate.

Heh, I was a fan of the Grizzlies and Expos while they were still up here. Mostly, I just hate the Canadian media's focus on Toronto like it's the centre of the universe. Like TSN, the "Toronto Sports Network". As a westerner, it just really bugs me.
