Dating in 2025 is hard, very hard, but there are still some “Red Flags” that people stay away from every single time. For some people, it is who do you root for when it comes to sports.
Would You Date Someone Who Rooted For A Rival Team?
Sports have become a major influence in our lives; people feel amazing when their team wins and down in the dumps when they lose. People send lots of money to watch their favorite team play in person and even make family trips out of away games.
So, is sports a big factor in New Yorkers’ dating lives, too?
Dating Outside Your Team’s Fanbase
I have a friend who is a die-hard member of Bills Mafia, and she is dating a guy who roots for the Atlanta Falcons. Usually, this isn’t an issue since the two teams have only played each other 14 times since 1973, but they played each other on Monday Night Football.
The Falcons shocked the Bills and beat them, which led my friend to post in a group chat that she needed to update her Bumble account.

What do you think, would you date someone who rooted for a rival team?
I don’t think I could. I think that there would be too much animosity when the two teams played, and it would hurt the relationship. I am a Bills fan, and no way would I date a Patriots or KC fan. Now I might be in the minority because on our social media, a lot of people are already in relationships with fans of other teams.
