    Would you date someone if they were a fan of your teams rival?

    For NCAA sports I am a UK alum and been a UK fan all of my life so there is no way that I could date a UofL or Duke fan.

    For NFL I love the Steelers and would not be able to date a Ravens or a Cowboys fan.

    Those four are my only restrictions, but to let you know how much I don't like those teams, as a die hard democrat, I would rather date a republican than a fan on one of those teams. LOL.

    Depends what team. We have a lot of rivals.

    That's a tough question. I LOVE my Panthers and I take it personally when anyone trashes them...even when they deserve it. However, I'll be thirty six in January, and if a man were to come along who was completely compatible except on that point, I don't think I'd be able to give up what could be the love of my life over something so petty (in the grand scheme).

    I've dated a Duke fan and a Gator. It made games a lot more fun. But I think I'm going to have to marry a fellow wildcat for decoration purposes, lol.

    Hmm the thought of a Ravens fan *repulsed* lol but I guess if I like them I could hate them twice a season for one day LOL

    GO STEELERS!

    As a "ride or die" Raiders fan, I could actually imagine being with someone who was a fan of a lesser organization. It would be fun! Unless of course they happened to be a Broncos fan. But, they generally don't date outside of their own families, anyway...

    I sure would! I'm an Eagles fan - the one that I adore is a Cowboys fan.
    But what I won't do is talk smack about his sorry team! LOL!!! Well not in front of him :)

    I always said I'd never date a Habs or Leafs fan but I guess if he's the perfect guy I'll just have to live with that major flaw and hey it'll be fun bragging about how much better my team is anyways :laugh:

    Depends if they were one of those "idiot fans." I'm a die hard Browns fan, and I have dated Steeler fans, but if they were obnoxious about it, I wouldn't be able to take it.

    My boyfriend and I agree on NHL (Coyotes/Flyers). Although I could not date a Wings, Pens or Kings fan. Other teams may be considered. Oh and not a Thrashers fan. Almost forgot they were a team...

    MLB: We are both dbacks fans but I am also Brewers and he is also Phillies. I would not date a Yankees fan. Or a Cubs fan.

    NFL: Both Cardinals fans but he is more Eagles. I follow Pack somewhat. Cards/Eagles game was hard. He wore a Vick jersey. I was embarassed to be seen with him. Vikings fans would definitely not be allowed if I were single... And no cowboy fans.

    College: He's Univ of Arizona, I'm Badger. Could not date Ohio State fan, I mean THE Ohio State (god forbid, I wouldn't want one to correct me!) Although my brother married one. Not sure how long that will last... :P

    Almost forgot NBA. NO to Lakers fans. Ugh... Still love my Suns. :)

    I would date a Florida (UF) fan... so I could get into their house and rub their toothbrush in the toilet.Needless to say I would leave after that... possibly kicking their trash over on the way out.

    First, I have to date someone who IS a sports fan. Tried to date a couple who tried to like sports or had a vague interest in it. For a girl who loves sports like I do....that won't work at all.

    As for dating a sports fan....I LOVE the banter and the bets that come with dating someone who likes to cheer for a team other than mine. That can be the best part for sure. Especially when I win!

    It can also be nice when your teams are not playing each other to support each others team.

    However, I have to draw the line at Cubs fans. Just can't do it.

    My husband is a fan of the other guys. Not a big fan, he doesn't watch the games or anything. He even programs the tv to turn to my ballgame for me so I don't miss any of it. It would be difficult to be with someone that was obnoxious about it though. Right now it would be ok cause we haven't lost a game in so long and they haven't won one. (well, they have won one all year) Ha.
