Question for NFL fans on here 09:56 - Jan 23 with 4347 viewsStenvict

What makes you pick a certain team?

I have to admit I have no interest in the sport at all, and struggle to see how some can simply pick a team at random and claim to be a supporter. It's like when I see a huge amount of Chinese people sporting Leicester City tops, simply because they won the Premier League last year, likewise with all the other big teams.

Obviously I get that the NFL has a draft every year to make it a more level playing field, so you can't really be a glory hunter, but the love I have for ITFC, I could never have for a team that in all likelihood I will never see live.

This is precisely why I don't support an NFL term. It would never feel like Ipswich. I just like NFL and like certain teams but don't support any. I have decent claims to Packers and Patriots but it has never felt natural to nail my colours to their mast.

I don't mean to pick on Rommers but I think it said a lot when, just after seeing his team win their Championship and progress to the Super Bowl, he said 'It was great to see a trophy being lifted. Unfortunately that joy is only 0.00000001% of the joy id get to see ipswich lift a trophy'.


I really enjoy NFL these days having vilified it for years because I didn't understand it, however, I haven't found any real affinity for any particular team and not sure if I will tbh, I just enjoy watching the games.

I'm obviously a big town fan and a huge Wasps fan being mad into my Rugby, but I have links to both of those clubs, whereas I have noting with any NFL team.

Falcons for me, I cant get into a sport unless I follow a team, so after the superbowl, 6 years ago I decided to get into it, so asked my American mate at work who he followed and as he was Falcon, I adopted them!


Good choice! The Falcons are going to be in with a shout of the SB for many years with a top QB, good young defence and loads of weapons on the offence.

Good luck in the Superbowl!

Btw, the Packers supporters are more fickle than Town fans. Didn't make it to the Superbowl and now they want everyone sacked! They should try supporting

You may have soon as the London franchise is looking highly likely. Just waiting to see whether it will be Wembley or Tottenhams new stadium. Its a totally different atmosphere. When you go to Wembley you will see fans and shirts from every team all joining in the fun.

No. But I live "up the road" so to speak, and have driven by it may times throughout the construction process.

So I sort of know, you know?


Does look like it is going to be pretty good.

Generally it's not just random choice - although some people's reasoning will seem random at times there will always be a thought process behind it.

And nowadays it is easier to see your team live with the London games and cheaper travel etc and so easy to follow it with likes of Twitter, Game Pass, Sky Sports etc and I've seen the Vikings both in London and the US, and will again in London this year.

Interesting that it is the reverse over here in the US really.

Of course the clubs that play here seem to have more fans here - no surprise there.

Over the last few years Charlotte has hosted:
Bayern v Inter
Chelsea v PSG
Liverpool v (I forget.. didn't make this one) edit: AC Milan
Mexico v Trinidad and Tobago
Mexico v Iceland

I obviously don't care about any of these clubs, but it is still nice to see a match from time to time. I do some traveling to catch international matches across the country as well.

Concord, a suburb of Charlotte, yes.

Next time you are around let me know and we can grab a drink if you have the free time. Don't get to talk with many other Town supporters locally (read: none).

By the way, ever watch "Eastbound & Down"? One of Shelby's claims to fame I'd say lol

49'ers on the back of my American uncle coming from there and supporting them coupled with when NFL first came on UK tv Joe Montana was the QB who was magnificent. The boy supports the Viking because we knew a wonderful American bloke who came from Minnesota and supported them and it rubbed off. The boy is more into supporting the Vikings then Towen these days and certainly gets more upset when they lose.

Personally I quite like being pretty much neutral and enjoying the games as such and its made easier because I don't hate clubs like I do over here with football. The rivalries don't sink in.

I picked the NY Giants because they played in blue, had TIKI Barber and I was 12 years old and liked playing with them on Madden. I've followed them since but really started supporting them when I was about 16 as a few other kids at school were into it. Now I watch every game I can and follow as much as possible, which has become much easier since the rise of twitter.

I've never been to New York, but hope to remedy that soon.

I think the base assumption that "someone can simply pick a team at random and claim to be a supporter" is not representative.

In the genuine cases of that which you describe, I tend to agree, to an extent.

NYC was the 1st place I went to in the US so decided to go with one of the teams, Giants were the obvious choice as they wear the colours of ITFC.

When the NFL was on C4 ( Mick luckhurst etc) I admit to liking the Dolphins.

However I saw a program about the packers and the fact they operate in the way they do ( frozen north, major city employer, massive 100% local fan base) I follow them

Gutted about last night but Rogers is a total star
