With all three host countries out of the tournament and no World Cup games today, some of us are emerging from a soccer stupor and checking in with our NSL, NWSL, Liga MX, MLS, CPL, and USL sides, which has got me wondering: what team or competition do Lemmings follow from the host countries? And, for those of you located in a host country, has following this World Cup encouraged you to support your local soccer team?

None, professional sports are unethical. If I do watch something I root for the underdog to hedge my entertainment.

    I don't think there's much unethical really happening at my local uslw club, but whatever helps you keep a clear conscience.

    That's the thing. You don't think.

    As opposed to you, who thought very carefully about the uslw and the account you were responding to before leaving this incredibly well-informed and nuanced response.

    I don't know why are you being offended here. You started a public question and got an answer. Professional sports being unethical is not my special magic take - it's well established topic of ethics so if you are curious why some might consider professional sports unethical you have plenty of resources to educate yourself.
