How many of us are actually into football (and what teams)? (sh.itjust.works)

Was wondering because, this time around, the football community seems to be diametrically opposite to the Lemmy/Piefed community. I was watching me some football when the booing happened, and the first thing I could think of was "looks like we aren't in ~~Lemmy~~ Kansas anymore". Do people here just not have a strong foothold in the football community? Or are we a minority?

So. I was never big sports fan. In college I had a roommate who was super into sports and he got me to be a bit of a home team guy. So not big into it but sorta get the appeal with the competition. Like the olympics. Sports have gotten so corpo though. I used to say I prefer to watch little league because its more exciting but these wierd companies are like buying up even kids leagues stuff. So its more an anti corporate thing which has me wanting nothing to do with sports now. Also it felt frendlier before but again in recent decades it feels more and more like nationalism.
