I'm equal opportunity, I'm pretty sickened by most professional sports organizations.
I don't understand loyalty to sports teams since there's so little continuity. The Yankees winning this year has nothing to do with the Yankees winning decades ago. And it's not like everyone on the team is even from New York. Unless they are, I don't know.

It's a nice illustration of the Doctrine of Anatta. The team is made up of different players than it was, different coaches, can be owned by different people, can move to a different city and change its name, but it is still, somehow, the same. Except when it is not, of course.

But most people root for their city's team, or the city closest. And if you have two teams, like in baseball, you generally have one from each league, American and National. They have a few different rules. It's a tradition thing, partly. And years ago, teams didn't change up the roster as often as they do now.
