before richmond, which teams did beard support? in football or any sport in general

beard hadn’t necessarily been an association football fan before richmond. i think he was more fans of individuals than he was of teams, i.e. being a fan of johan cruyff and probably even thierry henry. but with other sports, beard was very much devoted to quite a few teams.

I’ve said this before, but beard’s first ever sports love was baseball. oh man, is he a baseball fan. being from Illinois, his biggest team is the chicago cubs. and trust me. he takes his cubs very seriously. he has brought henry and ted to various games over the years, hoping to turn them both into baseball fans.

when it comes to american football, definitely likes various teams. Kansas City chiefs, naturally, and of course the team he and ted coached together…he probably likes a lot of teams, but he’s very staunch on who he doesn’t like….aka the new york jets. he does not like them, and never will.
