I hate the Dallas Cowboys. Every kid who grew up in the 90s loves them simply because they WON. Kids are like that they choose their team based on success. But to see all the Dallas fake fans that pop up when they are good is sickening. "Americas Team" how disgraceful. Homers who claim they are the team of the nation? How arrogant. More like "Americas Most Dissappointing Team" Throw TO off the team and they would get way more respect from REAL fans. I am so sick of bandwagon cowboys fans. Where were you with Quincy Carter as your starter? Win a playoff game this decade and give me call. THANKS!

I feel a great deal of anger and hatred in your heatr young skywalker. Embrace your anger and release the evil! LOL. I know what you mean. I was like that with the Chicago Bulls during the Jordan days. Everyone was a Bullsd and Jordan fan because he was the best. I hate bandwagon fans. You can't blame kids because they are dumb and don't know any better LOL. I live in Ny, and I hate the Yankees. when they 1st started winning those 1st couple of world series, everyone became a yankee fan. I hated that. I used to watch them play other teams on the road like the Toronto Blue Jays or the Texas Rangers and it would piss me off to see people sitting in the crowd with Yankee hats on. Then it started with basketball players doing their interviews after the game wearing a yankee hat before the whole dress code thing started. I'm getting off the topic, but I really used to hate the Duke Blue Devils with a passion. I use to call them the NY Yankees of coolege basketball. I used to get online on aol chat rooms, and everyones screen name had something to do with Duke. Like Bluedevilsfan81, or Dukebasketballlover95. It used to piss me off.
I'm a red sox fan, and I'm starting to see alot of Boston hats pop up in stadiums all around the country now as well. It kinda gets on my nerevs a bit because I've been following them since 1998 when they were loosing. And now I fell when I tell someone I like boston they might look at me like a bandwagon fan since they have just started winning. I feel I have to tell pople I've been a fan for 11 years, and not just recently when they just won their 2 championships.
As far as the cowboys, I never heard the amount of hatred people have for the cowboys so much this year. I do know they used to be called americas team. I don't know about now.I never really liked them. People tend to just go along with whoever is on top at the momment and that ticks me off alot. I hated the Green bay Packers one year, mostly Brett F#cking Farve because he cost me $1,500. I had played a couple off football tickets for $5. I had picket 7-10 games on all of them. At the end of the night I had one $300. I had 2 tickets left going into the sunday night game. It was the Packers vs Houston Texans. The Packers were favored by 3 points. All they had to do was win by more than 3 and I was a paid man. The Texans sucked at the time, and what happened, that Motherf#cking Farve only beat the Texans by exactly 3 points!! So that means my last two tickets that were worth $1,200 were no good! I cursed Farve and his mother for a very long time after that. But as a New Yorker and seeing his dumb a$$ cost the Jets a chance to get to the playoffs is payback enough for me.

You are right about Jordan/Bulls fans. SO many people became fans of (or, they really hated) the Bulls because of Jordan. As for the Duke fans, well that is a different story. At least with the case of Duke (and other college teams), winning games is a great recruiting tool for the college. When the team wins and gets national coverage, more high school students are attracted to that college. That is just good business for the college as it affects more than just the athletes hoping to get themselves on national TV.
I am not too upset about seeing Boston Red Sox hats - or those from other teams - in the crowds at their away games. I think that there is a fair amount of fans that have changed their allegiance to a team because their favorite player was traded to another team. Though I do agree that a lot of people also jump on the bandwagon for whatever team happens to be winning now... I don't really have a problem with that, though. Some of those bandwagon fans actually stick around and become loyal fans of the team. I grew up going to games watching Yaz, Rice, Fisk; Grogan, Tatupu, Tippett play. These were the guys that - even though they never won a championship - made the memories for me. I don't care if people think I am a bandwagon fan because I follow the Pats and the Sox, I know the truth as do the friends and family that know me. I don't care what other people think.

That's so true about the college teams. Many highschool athletes look for the college programs that get alot of exposure on television. I don't knock them for that. After all they are going to school for one thing, and that's for the chance to get noticed by a pro team. But it just seemed like everyone was a Duke fan everywhere at one time. I guess it's easy when they are winning and on tv all the time. I don't really care if people think I'm a band wagon Red Sox fan or not. I just think that every time I tell someone that I like Boston, they probably think that. But either way I don't care. I started following them Sox because of Nomar Garciaparra. He is still my favorite player today. You have no idea how much crap I have to put up with being a native new yorker and listening to all these stinking yankees fans all year long.

I hate to agree with everyone but my least favorite team is by far the Cowboys. I became a football fan in 1979 with my fav being the 49ers and my least fave, the Cowboys. Umpteen years later I am still a Niners fan. Yea it was great in the 80's when they were the team of the decade, and the last 10 years or so have not been the greatest, but I am still and will always remain a Niners fan. I will always hate the Cowboys too.
I used to really dislike Denver but after Elway retired I realized it was really him that I disliked, so now the Broncos are just neutral to me. In the past few years I have started to have hateful feelings towards the Patriots. I just think they didn't handle their success with class and that made me not like them. Maybe I just started disliking them because I got tired of them winning. Who knows.
Being a native Arizonan, the Cardinals moved into my second favorite position when they moved here. This year it looks like we finally don't have to be ashamed to support them.
GO NINERS!!!

"Kid are like that they choose their team based on success."
Heh, I have been a Patriots fan since I can remember even caring about football. It was certainly not because they knew how to win, though. I moved to Florida when I was in 5th grade. All...emphasis on the 'all'...of my friends in Florida were Cowboys fans. I think that Dallas had a great marketing campaign oh those many years ago with their cheerleaders. All you ever heard about were the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. I got really tired of hearing about Dallas and 'America's Team.'
When I was in high school, I began to take interest in the Washington Redskins due to John Riggins. He was an amazing player. I still held the Patriots at Number 1, but the Redskins took a close second. I went to see a pre-season game between the Pats and 'Skins and got to see Riggins play. It was pre-season, so I didn't care which team won! Anyway, due to the division rivalry between the Cowboys and the Redskins, I began to develop a further dislike for the Cowboys (and the Giants and Eagles, for that matter...).
To truly answer your question, I have to look at more recent events. My knee-jerk response would have been the Cowboys as my most hated team, but it seems that has changed. Recently, the Cowboys played against the Giants and I actually found myself hoping that the Cowboys would beat the Giants! As such, I would have to say that my most hated team in the NFL would be the Giants as they inspired me to root for the Cowboys in that particular game. It is a close race for last place, though...
