While watching a sport, do you have a tendency of supporting an underdog if your team is not involved?

Yes, I surely have a tendency to support an underdog when my team isn't playing. In those good old days when I loved watching Wimbledon, especially men's finals, I would surely support the underdog. I still remember how elated I was when the underdog Stefan Edberg defeated the favourite Boris Becker in the finals. I hardly watch much sports these days.

Kind of... yeah, of course! There are some teams and some players from different sports that I enjoy watching, but other than that, I always root for the underdog .

@Kasjnak, Yes, even some of my favourite cricketers and tennis players are not from my country, but I enjoy waching them.

@amirev777 sports are great, they can give you many moments of joy and delight. Sometimes sorrow, but it's all part of the game . I just enjoy watching some of the best players in the world (Federer and Nadal in tennis, Messi and Ronaldo in soccer, Kobayashy in ski jumping and so on) .

I don't have the habit of supporting like that.

It's been a while since I've even watched a sporting event.
