sports teams
Organized competitive groups
Sports teams are organized groups of players who compete together in athletic contests.
The term covers professional franchises, college programs, and amateur squads alike.
People develop fierce loyalties to their sports teams, often tied to geography or family tradition: I've followed the same sports teams my whole life.
The phrase functions as a unit when discussing fandom, merchandise, or local identity.
