If it's your city's/country's team, has historically been your family's team, there's a player you particularly like or there's something special that makes the team stand out (eg I support Chivas/Guadalajara becuase they only hire Mexicans). It has little to do with sports, tbh. I know very few people who support a sports team on its sporting merits alone and they're all insufferable.
