I mostly watch soccer and basketball but don’t mind other sports

Anyway I’m a timberwolves fan for the NBA.

I’m a big Arsenal fan for soccer but support Minnesota United too cuz local club n shit.

Also got a soft spot for Celtic cuz they’re dope and pro palestine

    That’s awesome how invested you are in American soccer especially the lower leagues, my journey with Minnesota started back in the NASL.

    Can I ask if you just don’t watch EPL or La Liga or do you just not have any team preferences

      I don't really watch European leagues, but did watch Serie A at the start of the pandemic and Bundesliga after it came back because it was the only soccer on. The reason I follow St Pauli is political, and Leverkusen is because they happened to be playing at home when I visited a friend in Bonn last fall. So I dragged everyone to a game, lol.

      At some point, the amount of time spent watching soccer is too damn high. I also find it easier to have a personal connection with these lower division US teams, even if they are a thousand miles away, than these European superclubs. I always get a sideways glance from people when I say I don't watch UEFA Champions League, but it happens during domestic seasons when I'm already typically watching 6-10 games a week. And I'd rather support my domestic leagues than UCL.

      Most of my lower-league love comes from US Open Cup, the single greatest sporting tournament in the country, second best in the world.

      I also nearly forgot about CanPL.
