Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5298628, member: 71"] For major league sports I very seldom actively root against anyone unless a specific outcome would benefit my team. I did (as a lifelong Yankee fan) want to see the Mets win in 1969 and 1973, and the only reason I wanted to see the Red Sox win in 1986 was due to having a couple close friends who were Sox fans (very specifically, one former career mentor, an older gentleman who was as good a person as you could find, who was a die hard Sox fan from the depression years) and I would have liked it if they had the opportunity to see a championship. The way I look at it, if we didn't win, there is no victory from someone else not winning. College sports, specifically men's basketball is different. There is always joy to be found when Duke and/or Syracuse lose. [/QUOTE]
