Title: Any sports fans?
Post by: garfieldelric on January 27, 2013, 11:47:07 AM
Say, I'm wondering how many of us here at Fanime are sports fans.

I sure am! I do like the teams of the Pacific Northwest, though, being from there. I like playing them, as in sports, when I can, which isn't too often....... I love MLB, NHL, and the NFL (the NBA, meh).

<-------------------------------------- and every other local team not called the Raiders.


I most play basketball and golf myself.

I also play fantasy basketball and football (no patience for baseball stats).

Definitely a sports fan!

Steelers and any team but the 49ers (I even would support the Raiders over the 49ers which is big for me considering my dislike of that team)
Kings (who are soon to be leaving my area for greater areas in the Northwest)
and a tie between Manchester United and Cardiff City for soccer. Though I will support Galaxy on occasion.

I don't like wearing Nike or Puma... I always have been a fan of Adidas- I got hurt though when they supported one of those SOPA(orwahtever) acts...

Any reasons for not wearing Nikes?

I wear Nikes and AND1 more than Adidas and Puma.

I just don't like Nike... I forgot my legit reason but w/e... Now I just stick to my combat boots. I wear boots cuz they last longer... all my tennis shoes die within 6 months.

I'm a Nike fan. I used to have pairs of Hyperdunks, but sold them for Air Maxs. Next wanting to get Jordan 2010s. And I do ball in them, not just collect. I also had a set of Nike VR and Nike SQ Sumo golf clubs.


Funny that there's several FCB and ManU fans here. I'm a Chelsea and Earthquakes guy.
Title: Re: Any sports fans?
Post by: limDsage on April 23, 2013, 10:35:17 AM
I love Air Maxs and SBs, but I'm not much of a sneakerhead. I'm currently looking for some retro Jordans though..

Chelsea fan? Nice. That was dirty what Suarez did to Ivanovic on that last game!

Edit: Maaaaaan, I knew I had a bad feeling about Barca playing against Bayern. We got bodied so hard. -___-

I soooo badly want to go to a giants or niners game with someone. I actually havent been to game. Only tv.

The only games I've ever been to were the SJ Sharks back when i was too young to pay attention and some baseball team near anaheim.

I mentioned several times in the past that there seems to be a sort of 'curse' for the Sharks, that there never has been a Sharks playoff game and any day of FanimeCon on the same day, and the Sharks get eliminated 1-2 days before Day 0, or on Day 0 itself.

If you sports fans want to do an Amici's East Coast Pizza lunch or dinner either Saturday/Sunday then let me know. It's worth it than going to the Maid Cafe and It's classier than dining at McDonald's. So let's meet up.

In other news: The NFL draft starts tonight @4pm (1st round) going into tomorrow and Saturday.

^ Yeah, because it's exhausting to drive 4 hours normally, let alone at 210 mph (like this Sunday in Michigan)


My first day working at Golfsmith; sold A LOT of R1 drivers, got a free employee golf lesson, explained the Callaway iron range and difference between the Ping drivers, fitted someone for clubs, and never got tired. Yeah, I like this job.

Supposedly SJ has rights over A's... something that was long forgotten and originated in some dispute years ago.
