most hated/disliked sports teams

[daschoo]

just thought it might be interesting to see what teams everyone here dislikes the most (yes i'm bored in work)
anyway heres my top 3



1. glasgow rangers football club

apart from being the city rivals of my club i have several reasons for hating this mob. obviously not the individual people as several of my closest friends follow the other side, thats the thing with two massive clubs in the one city i guess. every year since the mid 1980's it has been either celtic or rangers who have won the league title here in scotland so every game between the two is going to have a massive impact on the outcome of the season.
the main reason though is there anti-catholic stance. the club was openly anti-catholic up until 1989 when they signed their first practicing catholic (before this players had been transferred for marrying catholic women). this signing was greeted by fans outside the ground burning their season tickets, scarves and tops and vowing never to return to ibrox.
the fans to this day still sing songs about wading through the blood of catholics although in fairness this has lessened in recent years due to the work the club, under threat of points deduction, has been carrying out.

2 english national football team

being scottish i'm always going to be supporting whoever are playing england, theres just too much history going back hundreds of years for that to be otherwise. the vast majority of english people i have met i have got on with fine and i would consider it to be more of a good natured rivalry on the whole. admitedly i think its probably fair to say we scots take it more seriously than the english but i guess that comes with the teritory with the size of the respective neighbouring nations. even the players i quite like a lot of them. the thing that really takes them this high up my list is the commentators and media down south. you cannot watch an england game without some referance to 1966 when they won the world cup, any game involving germany prompts snide referances to the war and the media on the whole have them built up as the greatest side ever to play the game before every major international tournament. on top of that whenever they are talking about scottish football i find them to be very condescending.

3 philthy eagles

the 2008-2009 season was the season i got back into nfl. before that i hadn't watched it for years, didn't support a particular team and beyond owning a jets top due to the colours (celtic play in green and white) i hadn't taken any interest in the sport other than the occasional superbowl since the days of aikman, kelly, montana etc. i watched the packers game in week 3 with the other halfs dad in texas and that was me, when i got home i found myself sitting up till all hours watching cowboys games online. therefore by the time i was watching cowboys football the redskins were pretty irrelevant (although hostiles thread a while ago about the racist origins of that team certainly helps me to despise them)
the main reason the eagles stick out over everyone else for me is the last game of last season. ironically it was that game i realised how much it had come to mean to me in a relatively short space of time. i was sitting up at around 4 in the morning absolutely livid about the result of a game i was watching on a crappy internet feed in a sport that 6 months previously i hadn't cared about.
