do you root for favorite or underdogs? and why?

[J.Brown]

so i had a huge discussion about this with a friend and want the ELDF people to help.

i have noticed in my life i root for favorites and people/movies/music/sports teams/business ventures to dominate in whatever field they endeavor.

i know this sounds broad based and vague, but my arguement/discussion was with a friend who always roots against tiger woods, apple, the yankees, songs to be at number one for an all time record on the billboard charts, etc. etc. i tend to be a bit of the opposite.

i really like the thought of seeing the greatest of all time in our generation.
i love it when a movie gets broad based critical acclaim and crushes at the box office. rare i know

i wish roger federer would win every tennis match he plays until he retires so there is no question who is the best ever.

i never want undefeated boxers to lose. i hated it when tyson lost for the first time and had to hear it from my dad that he was no ali. he wasn't, but that isn't the point.

for some crazy reason i want brian townsend/phil ivey/patrik antonius (or someone else) emerge as the greatest poker player the world has ever seen and dominate(no donkaments don't count phil hellmuth fans, lol)

i really like to see records broken, now, and not have to debate some vague history of so and so was the GOAT. let us see them today and have some superstars in all fields instead of mediocrity.

so do you think this is a consistent trait among people or do you mix and match who you root for or who your favorites are in life? give me some examples. for me i am a favorites guy......maybe to a fault. J.
