In General: Boston sports. Between the obnoxiousness of the fan base and the history of cheating (Patriots/Celtics), the moral 'high-grounding' (Red Sox), I could literally never root for anything Boston. When the Patriots squared off against the Eagles in Super Bowl 39, I felt an uncleanliness that still resonates today.
Philadelphia Sports teams. Ditto with Boston. : Dallas Cowboys Baltimore Ravens San Diego Chargers Chicago Bears Los Angeles Dodgers/Angels Los Angeles Clippers Miami Heat New Jersey Devils

Chicago Bears Chicago White Sox (funny thing is that I love the Cubs) Pittsburgh Steelers Every LA team ( minus the Lakers, I love them) Boston Red Sox Penn State Indianapolis Colts
For being a huge Vikings fan, I should hate Green Bay, but I love them and they are my second favorite NFL team.

"Cheer" is such a relative term; for example, in 2009 I had to watch the Yankees and Phillies play in the World Series, and it nearly tore my brain apart, but I settled on "cheering" (more "resignedly accepting") the Yankees over the hated Phillies. So, yeah: -In baseball, I will not cheer the Philadelphia Phillies, because good God, man. Back from 2006-2009, the Mets and Phillies had a pretty rough rivalry going, including Philly's huge comeback at the end of the 2007 season to take the division from New York. Early in 2008, I met up with a South Jersey friend who happens to be a Mets fan, and we went to Citizens Bank Park to see a Mets/Phils game early in the season. Things went well early upon arrival: due to my audacious behavior of wearing a Mets shirt, a group of four drunken dopes came by, screamed in my face repeatedly, and when I let it get to me for a second and muttered "Oh, kiss my ass", one of them decided it was time to spin me around and put his hands on me. Like a moron, I snapped and backhanded him across the face...needless to say, I walked away, quickly, before anything else could happen. Nearly the dumbest decision I had ever, ever made to that point. Anyway, early in the game, Jose Reyes got on base, and darted off to second base. Jose Reyes has long annoyed other fanbases due to his outward exuberance; clapping his hands after a triple, or doing a fancy handshake routine with teammates in the dugout, or whatever. In this situation, he went sliding into second base, and his head connected with Chase Utley's leg. For a moment, Reyes lay on the ground, not moving, clearly shaken up. And the crowd went crazy cheering for it.I'm not exaggerating when I say this. Every fanbase has jerks, every crowd has morons who'll do something like cheer injuries, etc. This was a loud, loud majority of the crowd. When I got home, I watched some of the replay of the game, and even the broadcasters were commenting on how disturbing the crowd's reaction was as Reyes was laying on the ground. Thankfully, Reyes got up, seemed alright, and stayed in the game...prompting the crowd to promptly turn face and boo just as loudly. So yeah, will never, ever cheer them. -Also in baseball, I will only "cheer" the Yankees if they have to play the Phillies in the World Series again. In all seriousness, people ask sometimes what I could possibly have against the Yankees, since the Mets and Yanks don't play in the same leagues, etc. It's pretty simple: I was bullied like crazy as a kid for daring to wear Mets gear to school in a predominantly Yankee-fan-filled area, and beyond that there's also a bit of a cultural divide between the NY team fans here. I hear Mets fans whine a lot about wanting the team to be able to spend as much money as the Yankees do on free agents and whatnot, and I just want to say "If you want a team that spends like the Yankees, then go cheer for the freaking Yankees." Don't get me wrong: the Mets' owners, the Wilpons, are pyramid-scheme-sucker-level morons who I would love to see sell the team tomorrow, but even when the Mets were spending at the top of the NL in roster budget, a lot of those fans were still whining about not spending $200+ million like the Yankees. -Baseball again, but maybe temporary: I will not cheer the Angels for as long as Arte Moreno owns them. The whole Josh Hamilton saga revealed what a disgusting human being he is, so I hope he never wins anything again. -Finally, the MLB All-Star Game: I will never cheer the American League. NO DH IN THE NL!-Hockey: I'm a Devils fan, so the Rangers and Flyers are Public Enemies #1 and #1A. Again, there's a cultural aspect to it, and it's made all the fiercer because, around the NYC area, hockey is far and away the least popular of the major sports...but that just means the fanbases for the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers are all the more rabid because of that fact. Devils/Flyers spent a number of years as a "worthy opponent" rivalry, but that same angry attitude I saw at the Mets/Phillies game also permeates at Flyers games. -Football: I'm a Giants fan, and I think I might actually hate the Cowboys and Eagles more than I like the Giants.

One more thing.
I'm a Knicks fan and sometimes I feel like never cheering for them.

Most of the ones that I would never cheer for have been mentioned. I'll just add one more.
Real Madrid. Mostly due to their former cozy relationship with Francisco Franco and the fact that they feel they're entitled to success and if they don't get it, it's always some other reason besides other teams being better. It's just unthinkable that anyone could possibly ever be better than the god-like "Los Blancos."

"l-Finally, the MLB All-Star Game: I will never cheer the American League. NO DH IN THE NL! Damn right. If you're a pitcher, you're still playing a position and that means you need to pick up a bat and swing like everyone else.

Los Angeles Dodgers/Angels Boo Yanks, Boo! Consider this: A. The Angels were guaranteed to smack around the Yankees for almost a decade. B. Same Angels always got the snot beat out of them by the Red Sox come playoff time. Except 2009, which admittedly was satisfying and awesome. With that said, I got more satisfaction from the 2009 ALCS than the World Series. Well, other than the Yankees making a loser out of Jimmy Rollins... well, more so than usual. The Dodgers 'cause... the Giants are my NL Team and so forth.

Yes, I HATE the Red Sox. The Halos could run through teams without a problem, but always got stuck when it came to the Sox.

Not many. But I would NEVER root for the Packers or the St. Louis Cardinals. Yes, part of it is due to jealousy because they always win and always beat my teams. But I don't care. I just hate them with a passion.
