What Professional Sports Teams Do You Want To See Win A Championship?

Bear in mind that this is a "other than your own teams" type of question. I mean, it's pretty easy to want your own team to win
(My poor AZ Cardinals and Coyotes better win sometime!)
but I'm curious if there are other teams that you especially would like to see win a title. Also, it's no fun without giving a reason as to why you want to see this team win, though of course the most generic answer is good enough. After all, I am simply fond of the....Houston Rockets, so seeing them win a title would make me happy for their fans.

Anyway, I've got these teams.

NFL
*Detroit Lions-They've been the most long suffering NFL team ever. Also, Stafford is one of my favorite QB's ever (Bulldogs!). In general, teams that suffer so much deserve some success.
*Green Bay Packers-Probably because it's nice to have another five win super bowl team. Speaking of which....
*49ers and/or Cowboys-It would be so nice to see another team tie The Steelers in Super Bowl wins. Eff The Steelers.
*Chicago Bears-For a franchise which so much great success, they only have one Super Bowl win. That's kind of jank IMO.
*Cleveland Browns-Because The Browns, that's why. Poor Cleveland.
*Buffalo Bills-Four Super Bowls and four losses in a row. Damn. Seal the deal!

MLB
*Chicago Cubs-Come on, this one is number one. Has there been other team that has suffered so much? Well, at least they have a winning record, but damn has the team suffered a lot.
*New York Mets-Shame that the Yankees pretty much hog everything from the Mets.

NHL
*Eh....the Leafs? The Blues I suppose considering that they've always choked. Ditto for the Sharks. I suppose the Ducks winning more titles would be cool, but just because their mascot is a duck.

NBA
*76ers-I consider the 76ers to be one of the greatest NBA franchises, but they don't have many titles to show for it. I would like to see them have more than only three to show for their history.
*New York Knicks-Ditto for the Sixers. They only have two titles, but New York is a basketball strongpoint. They don't have enough banners in their arena.
*Houston Rockets-I've always liked The Rockets, cool team. They also have James Harden who I want to see win a title. Cute Mascot, too.
*Detroit Pistons-Yet another 76ers like team. I also really, really feel for Detroit. Always have.

Knicks. :(

Non homer selections:

Cubs
Orlando Magic--such a cursed team, always losing talent.
Cavaliers--would be an amazing story of a Prodigal Son returning home.

Agree with Knicks and Mets. Bring some chips to my teams

But hopefully the Warriors win this year (NBA)

I want to see the Cleveland Browns win a Super Bowl. Those fans have been suffering for so long, I feel bad. Same with the Cardinals.
 
I'm from NY and I want to see the Seahawks win more Superbowls and the Spurs win more championships. Those two teams make their respective leagues watchable (for me, of course -- not talking about other people).

Any of my beloved Cleveland sports teams. Though that would require them not just defeating every team in their path, but also vanquishing the person who hates them most: God. And I hear he's kinda powerful.

I'd love for the Lions to win a Super Bowl. But for the chances of that: see snowball, hell. And since I am a human being with a functioning heart, I also would love to see the Cubs break the curse.

Oakland Athletics (MLB)

Arsenal (BPL)

Both teams have coaches (Wenger and Beane) that emphasize extracting value out of underrated and overlooked players, without breaking the bank.

All the teams I support?

Not my team?

NBA: I'd like to see the Warriors win this year.
NFL: The Bills. Especially after all the heartache they had in the past.
NHL: I don't know. My Leafs are already super shitty.
MLB: The Cubs I guess?

Eagles: Feels lame to be the only NFC East with no Trophy.
Suns: Just because I want to be happy as a Suns fan again.
Coyotes: I just want to be a happy Yotes fan.
 
I'm from the North side of Chicago.

I want the Cubbies to win, obviously, and I'd love for Northwestern to make the tournament one of these years.

I'd be happy to see Cleveland win an NBA title (not this year, though), the Capitals to win the Cup and the Bills to win a Super Bowl.
 
Toronto Raptors
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto Blue Jays even though I was around for the back to back World Series wins
Miami Dolphins
Anaheim Ducks

Oh other than my teams...hmmm

NBA - Meh
NHL - Washington Capitals with Ovie
MLB - Dodgers
NFL - Philly

I really don't have any interest at all in professional sports. But when I was a kid my great aunt lived in Baltimore and was a die-hard Orioles fan. I actually attended one game of the '70 World Series (I was three - don't remember it). I do remember going to the home games with my aunt whenever we visited and seeing Boog Powell, Jim Palmer, Brooks Robinson, Paul Blair, Ken Singleton, and Reggie Jackson all playing at one time or another for the Orioles at Memorial Stadium. Good memories, so when I see the Orioles having a good season it makes me smile and I remember my aunt. They haven't been doing too bad the last few years.
 
Nationals would be cool, since they're so close. My girlfriend is a Cubs fan, though, so that might be number one. She would just be too excited.

I only pull for other teams to win when they're playing a team I don't want to win.

So, sure, I'd like to see the Cubs win the World Series. If they're playing the Red Sox.
 
Memphis would be pretty cool since I'm from Tennessee and the Titans certainly aren't winning anything. I doubt they make it past Golden State and Houston/LA for the automatic finals win, though.
 
Detroit Tigers. They have been too good these past 4 years to not win one. Sadly, this year is probably their last chance to win one w/ the current core before they end up like the Phillies, but without the WS title.... =(

Lions are a complete disgrace and debacle of an organization all around, they don't deserve shit.

Maple Leafs fans make me laugh with their suffering so I'm happy already there.

Phoenix Suns - I'm a fan and they have the highest winning percentage in the NBA as a franchise without an NBA title.

The Dutch deserve a World Cup win. For a small nation, they have produced some great players and even some of the all time greats. They consistently field good teams and deserve 1 win even as an outsider. I would also throw Croatia in there as well for many of the same reasons though they are not as powerful as the Dutch teams have been on a whole.
 
The Expos. Bring 'em back and kick the Nationals back out of the league. Two birds with one stone.

If the Browns or Lions win a superbowl before the Vikings I'll quit football.
 
Cubs for WS. As for the NFL I only want to see my 9ers win, fuck everyone else. Also having Liverpool win a premiership would be dope.
