Sporting teams - degree's of favouratism

Regardless of what sport you follow, you generally have a favourite team and then degree's of teams that you like or dislike. So for me, who doesn't follow all sports closely, I'll tend to think regionally....I'm in Sydney so I'll support The Swans in AFL, The Waratah's in Rugby Union, the now defunct Sydney Kings in Basketball and Sydney FC in 'Football'......out of proximity as opposed to passion. It's good when they win, but I'm not going to wake the kids with the celebrations.

But when you like one of thise sports more than the others and follow the details, you generally start to operate in more chunks of demarcation, with clearer lines.

So, if I used this on the NRL my teams would look like:

TEAMS I LIKE
1: Parramatta.

2: Cronulla.
3: Wests Tigers.
4: Penrith.
5: Souths.

TEAMS I AM NEUTRAL ABOUT
6: Auckland.
7: Newcastle.
8: Canberra.
9: Nth Queensland.
10: Melbourne.
11: Gold Coast.
12: Sydney City.
13: St George.

TEAMS I DON'T LIKE:
14: Manly
15: Brisbane.
16: Bulldogs.

Totally subjective, totally biased.....but that's how I roll.

How do you break your teams down?
