Sports team or teams that you enjoy seeing lose and why
Simply state the team (or teams) and why you enjoy seeing them fail. No back and forth refuting other forum members choices, simply state your case and then watch the thread - if you want pissing and moaning, start another thread.
Can be Professional or College sports, doesn't matter.
My choice - The Dallas Cowboys Football Team, aka Jerry's Team.
Reason - I went to school with 2 very short Texans and it was all they talked about - they bought into Jerry Jones false claim of the Cowboys being "American's Team". So I enjoy it anytime Jerry's Team loses and especially when they fail to make the playoffs. Doesn't matter who they are playing, they are the worst.

I like it when the Patriots lose. Reason: they win too much.
As a fan of the MotoGP I also like it when Marc Marquez loses. Why? Because after so many back to back titles it would be nice to see a new champ & a bike manufacturer other than Honda win for a change.

Anywhere Colin Kaepernick might play. I think he is slowly realizing that no one wants him mostly because he is not that good, and that the politics are a small portion of the equation.

There are a few, but usually I like to watch them get beaten either because their fans are assholes, or they have a player or players who are assholes. Conversely, I like watching some teams win, because even though I'm not a fan, they have players who are good and decent people who I like to see rewarded.
I like watching the Florida Gators football team get beat because, in my experience, their fans are assholes, only exceeded by the Philadelphia Eagles, who I also like to watch lose.
I'm happy when Tampa loses, although they should be my local cheering team, because Jameis Winston is such an ass.
On the plus side, even though I am a Patriots fan, I like watching Kansas City win as I think that both Mahomes and Andy Reid are classy, decent guys, and I like to see the good guys win.

The Jets or Giants because they're from NY and the Yankees suck.

Any team from Boston. Their fan base is just insufferable. Pro sports was much better when they lost all the time. Don't even get me started on how unlikable the Patriots are as an organization.
Second would be the Cleveland Browns. This is because of their fans and the way the media wants so desperately for them to be a good team when no other organization gets that treatment (outside of the big, big market teams). Luckily they are a dumpster fire every year.

Skins, Caps, and Nats fan. Anyone in division, but the top three in order are Penguins, Eagles, and Cowboys. Cowboys used to be higher up but rivalry has died down since both teams suck.

N.O. Saints. After it was discovered players got a bounty for blindsided opposing team Quarterback...Kurt Warner.

Pretty much any pro sports team, way to many players are complete jerks and earn way to much money to 'play'. I would never pay the price of a pro game ticket....

I didn't used to be a Bama Hater (I actually grew up a Bama fan until I went to Auburn), but their asshole fans and Saban's whiny ass turned me into one.
NY Giants (exception last weekend when I needed them to beet Philly so the Cowboys would get in) Houston Texans (Never forgave them for the Oilers leaving)
So I hooked up with the Cowboys. My wife is from Pittsburgh so we get along great on Sundays.

College: Auburn - because I was born and raised in Alabama.
Notre Dame - because when I was growing up the bias in favor of ND was so great and unquestionable. They could have 3 losses and still be in the top ten at the end of the year.
Pros: Dallas Cowboys - I was a Steelers fan growing up, so hated Dallas and always wanted to see them lose. Still holds true today.

The Oakland Raiders
I grew up in Hawaii in the 70s. The island rooted predominately for the Dodgers and the Raiders.
The most diehard raiders fan I knew was a kid named Kenny Braxton. He was in 3rd grade, I was in first. That Christmas Kenny thought it would be funny to ruin Santa for all the younger kids in the neighborhood. Because of that I hated Kenny, and that transferred to his team, the raiders. It also pretty much started my lifelong hatred for teams whose fans, at least in my experience, were assholes.
It was about that same time I got a helmet out of a quarter vending machine featuring patriot Pat on the side. The Patriots sucked, but I loved that logo and helmet, so I rooted for them. It took about 20 years for that to pay off. I know a lot of people hate the Patriots now, and I get it, people don’t like teams that experience as much success as the Patriots have.

Since you stated only one team, it is definitely That Team Up North aka Xichigan. You can’t be a Buckeyes fan and have any mercy for them.
It’s just the biggest rivalry in sports.

Given the NFL corrupts games through biased officiating, any team that is favored in such a manner is the team I root against. Their broadcasting partners-in-crime don't show certain replays for a reason and now have a direct representative from the officiating department providing their input, *cough* censorship to cover the league's ass.
That being said, it's been a couple years since I've watched a NFL game.
