Lil Wayne and his Packers
The New Orleans rapper has long been behind the Green Bay Packers. Before a team game in September, he led the Packers out of the Lambeau Field tunnel as his song “Green and Yellow” boomed through the stadium. The diminutive “Lil” in his stage name took on full meaning when he found himself alongside the Green Bay players.
Nick Carter, the Buccaneers in the skin
In 2019, the Backstreet Boys singer got a pirate ship tattoo on his shoulder in honor of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His love for the Florida team dates back to his early teenage years, when he would dance on the field with the team's cheerleaders during halftime.

The great singer has attended a number of Kansas City Chiefs games since the start of her romantic relationship with the team's star player Travis Kelce. The diva sits in a box with mom Kelce and lets herself get caught up in the football fever without bothering to scream and applaud.
Eminem, live or die with Detroit
No one is happier about the Detroit Lions' playoff success than rapper Eminem. He is also very active on social media in preparation for his team's game against the Buccaneers and even offers to help the head coach on the field.
“Coach Dan…the offer remains. I’ll be there on Sunday, let me know,” he jokes on his Instagram page.

“I was born and raised in Buffalo. “When I was young, there was nothing better than rushing home from church to watch the games,” the actor likes to say in a video posted on the Buffalo Bills website.

Jim Parsons, superstitious about his fellow Texans
The one who played the role of Sheldon in the popular series The Big Bang Theory has a habit of learning his lines while the Houston Texans are in action.
“If the meeting goes well, [je me dis que] This is because I can remember my texts well. “The better the Texans do, the more I reread my texts and the less I watch the game,” the comedian told Jimmy Fallon during The Tonight Show. “Not only does it make no difference, it ruins my view of the game,” he then admitted with a laugh.
