I know by my username I should obviously prefer hockey over football but I love them both! Which do you prefer and what team??

GO HAWKS!!!

and GO BEARS!!!

If they were both on at the same time I'd have to keep switching channels but would probably watch the Bears since they play less games but I love my Hawks.

    I agree about the poor Canes. Here's to saying "maybe this year" yet again. I'd love to just make the playoffs again.

    soccer.

    ^^^ this is what "football" means to me

    as for the question, I prefer ice hockey to football (yes, by that I mean "soccer"), both for playing and watching. However both are fun. I also like skating infinitely more than I like running. And I played in a ladies ice hockey league for quite a few seasons. Left D.

    I played American football once, but as there were only 3 players (was at an activity camp thing for teenagers and only 3 girls signed up so they tried to run a training session with 3 of us) all I remember was that the other two girls were quite a bit taller than me, but I was quite a bit stronger than them. :drinker: story of my life though lol

    I would love, love, love, love, love to play Aussie rules football though... that looks like a LOT of fun.

    There are many reasons people wish for success for multiple teams. Where you originated/where you live now, nostalgia for a favorite player/era, culture of the team, etc.


    I'm a hockey fan, Go Bruins!

    its one thing to wish a team well that has a player from your college team on it. its great to see your college players do well for them and for recruiting. but that situation is in flux.

    to say you actually cheer for 3 teams is something different. a true fan has 1 team. if you are a fan of more than 1 you are fan of none.

    I lean more towards hockey, myself. But I love football. Last year's lock out pissed me off because when my Eagles starting stinking up the field, I couldn't turn to my Flyers for solace.

    Sorry. You are beyond wrong. I have been to Stars games and I have been to plenty of minor league and high school hockey games. Hockey SUCKS. I've actually TRIED to become a fan and I just can't do it.

    What? Heck you should see the MLB list of teams I like if you thought that was bad! I like and watch all sports especially baseball. To call my self like a "true, die hard fan" or whatever the heck its called well.. Ok whatever. Those are the teams I like, watch on tv and follow statistics on. You should see my cell phone its looks like a darned casino machine with all the mlb, nfl, nhl etc sports apps I got on it.

    I'm not the biggest die hard true fan I guess, because the USMC has taken up most of my time. So following sports is a bit hard to do. But like I said, Go Wings, Go Hawks, Go Hurricans, Go Miami Heat, Go Pistons, Go Tigers, Go Bruins, go Tiger woods, go Lebron James, and go all you tennis athletes to cause your hot.

    HOCKEY!!!!! I LOVE THE RANGERS! I watch every game and every minute of it.

    I like football but not at all as much as hockey. I won't watch the whole game, unless it's the superbowl, I just see the score, and then change the channel. It's confusing to watch sometimes. My family is obsessed with football, they love the Jets. I like the Jets but I like the Giants a little more, maybe it's because of the memories back in 2008 when I skipped school with a bunch of friends to go to the ticker-tape parade. I'll never forget that day...

    If you're talking about football as in soccer, I can't say I am a huge fan. I mean, I like to watch it when it's the World Cup. I'll hope the USA wins because I live there, but realistically I know they won't, so then I'll hope for Spain or Italy to win, and maybe South Korea.

    Favorite sports to watch in order: Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, Football (American)

    i feel a little sorry for you. :) hockey certainly isnt my favorite sport. it falls somewhere after football, soccer, basketball, F1....but its still very enjoyable.

    give it another try in a year or two...watch some playoff games with fans who care. maybe that will do it. :D
