For reference, I live in western Canada.
1. Hockey
2. American Football (College and NFL)... not canadian football though

1. Gridiron football (Packers)
2. Ice hockey (Blackhawks)
3. Golf (Woods, Fowler, and a bunch of others)
4. Baseball (Brewers)
5. Association football (Parma FC, Messi)
If the teams for the first two seem like a weird combination, it's mostly because I grew up in Wisconsin where there is no hockey team (somehow).
I only started watching association football about 7 years ago. At the time, I had a friend who was a Juventus fan so I decided to pick their "rivals". I also didn't really want to pick a big name team. However, I'm not sure if I'll stay with Parma after the dumpster fire of a year they've had which has led them to bankruptcy and relegation to Serie D.

1) Football. Used to play when i was a teen and support my local team, Falkirk, final of the scottish cup this year but lost
2) Tennis. Also used to play. Love watching everyone, but watch all andy murrays games. Was on fire at queens and hoping for a good performance at wimbledon
3) Motor Sport. Love Rally but dont watch it as much as i should and catch the odd F1 race and will watch the Isle of Mann TT when I can
4) Snooker. Again will watch anybody. Fan of Judd Trump. Think he is excellent.
5) Tabletennis. Just because I was pretty damn good at it and one some leagues when I was younger. Only ever seen it on TV when the olympics are on.
6) Golf. Almost forgot about that being on a golf site hahaha. Used to play when i was younger and came second in a non-handicapped competition once. Fan of Rory McIlroy and Colin Montgomerie. Gutted i missed the US Open this year as I was working

Yeah and I thought Newcastle United were in a bad position. |

1) American Football - OHIO STATE BABY! I knew it! You've given me the creepy Buckeye vibe from day one! Now I have to give everything you say the sideways eye... 1) Golf - Avid follower of the PGA, and occasionally will check out other tours if they are playing interesting courses. I look for all things related to interesting or classic courses. Surprisingly don't play much anymore, though. Golfing in Chicago is hard. Was much much easier in Michigan. 2) NBA - Used to work in the league, and still work for a company that makes basketball products. Detroit Pistons fan. 3) College Basketball and Football - Michigan Wolverines. 4) MLB, NFL, NHL - Pretty much a tie, these are mostly on the backburner, but I keep up with Detroit as much as I can. Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings. 5) Olympics? I do enjoy curling quite a bit! That's it, I think I'm out of sports. |

1 - Hockey (that's Field hockey not Ice Hockey) I played for 2 teams at the height of my playing days that saw me reach what was effectively the second highest standard of league in England & won the Welsh Cup qualifying for Europe whilst I was a student in Cardiff
Its not really on TV much but I guess I follow Great Britain when it's aired as I coached 4 of the team as juniors (we won a lot of national titles with that squad)
2 - Golf I support Ian Poulter mainly because I know deep down he will probably never win anything but sure brings a ton of drive/emotion to The Ryder Cup & I respect that
3 - Cricket - Derbyshire Country Cricket Club & England (I was borderline DCCC Junior level & still hold a Cricket record in The a Staffs/Stoke league I believe)
4 - Football/Soccer - Liverpool because I suspect as a kid I was a glory hunter & they dominated European football for a while many years ago, not that you'd know it now 
5 - Most other sports but I don't really have any other 'teams' I follow or root for

Football - Leicester City
Captained each school team I played for. Got told I was too small to make professional. Leo Messi. My height and age is roughly the same. Bizarre. Got to love the English kick and rush mentality. Neil Lennon and Muzzy Izzet were my idols growing up. Love Cambiasso at the minute.
Golf
Love to play it. Don't have the time nor resources to play it enough to be any good. Watch it every week and generally have a flutter. Had Louis each way @ 80/1 for US Open.
Tennis
Growing up cheering on Tiger Tim made for exciting summers.

I still remember our win at Filbert street in 1990 to stop us being relegated to the 3rd tier and also our 7-1 win to celebrate promotion to the Premier League a year later. |

Ah yes. I was at both games as a very young lad. You must love Stevie Walsh after that own goal. Massive pitch invasion at the end. As for the 7-1. Ewww. Nae good. I did happen to get into a national magazine during that one though. Picture of me with a foxes hat on my dads shoulders looking horrified as Andy Cole was tearing us apart.
