Just curious if there are any others out there on Lemmy! Where are you based and what team do you support?

I live in the UK but I’m a Saints fan - started following the league in 2020 as a lockdown hobby and it stuck!

UK also, been a 49ers fan for a long time, since someone gave me a Montana shirt when I was a kid 😁

    There’s a decent NFL following in the UK for sure - explains why they give us international games every year!

    49ers is relatively unusual out here, though, I think? If I see anything NFL it’s usually Jags, Jets, Dolphins, or Bears.

    Any thoughts on why the bears have such a big UK fanbase? It’s definitely bigger than you would expect compared to teams from bigger cities.

    I'm from Germany and a Rams fan.

    No special connection, I just liked colour scheme and logo most.
