He claimed he was “not happy” about it. Chris has been seen at many Vikings games in recent years, including in 2019. Unless he wants a rather awkward conversation, he might be wiser to avoid the quarterback.

Jeff Goldblum: Pittsburgh Steelers
Perhaps one of the most celebrated teams in NFL history is the Pittsburgh Steelers, so it makes sense that they have some very famous fans. Jeff Goldblum, one of whom just so happens to be the one and only. He was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area and said he had Steelers season tickets growing up in his family, meaning he never missed his father’s home game. Back in 2016, he was able to meet Le’Veon Bell, a former Steelers running back. This moment, as you can see in the photo, almost made the actor cry.

Rapper Macklemore, otherwise known as Benjamin Haggerty, is somewhat bonded with the Seattle Seahawks – or any other Seattle-based team, really. When it comes to the Seahawks, no matter what, regardless of their success, he demonstrates his support for them. So, it makes sense that he is a native of Seattle.

We can’t help but appreciate those fans, no matter what, who stick to their hometown teams.

As for her most recent career developments, in the Sharknado series, she has a large role. With her eyebrow-raising career antics, we are not sure if she just randomly roots for the Eagles or because she likes the colors of the team. We accept it, whatever it may be.
