Well, CT used to have a professional sports team (Long live the Whalers). That said, here's who I follow:
Baseball: Yankees. My dad is a die hard Yankees fan, so he raised me as a Yankees fan. Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield were my favorite players growing up. The funny thing is that as a little kid I always wondered if they'd win a title, since the Red Sox, Tigers and Blue Jays were better in the late 80s/early 90s.
Football: Giants. Same as above, my dad is a big Giants fan so I grew up watching the games.
Basketball: I don't really follow one NBA team in particular, although I began to like the Celtics when I lived in Boston. I mainly follow college basketball.
SOME people in CT are also Red Sox/Patriots fans...
And yes, RIP Whalers. That loss broke a lot of hearts.
Now, CT does have UConn Basketball. And their football team is getting better. So there's something to follow.
I never said that people didn't root for the Red Sox and Patriots. I was just talking about my own favorite teams. I'd say it's about 50/50 for Yankees/Sox, and there's a huge Patriots following here.
