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.

          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.
