Foxx loves all kinds of sporting events, but he especially loves rooting on his Cowboys. You can see him in this picture sitting with Dallas legend Emmitt Smith as he also chums up with some former players. Like any other sports fan actor, he takes advantage of his celebrity and gets to plenty of unique sporting events.

Naturally, Myers is a huge hockey fan since he's from Canada. His team of choice is the Maple Leafs, who haven't exactly been great lately. Nonetheless, he continues to support his favorite team as they chase their first Stanley Cup in decades.

The hilarious comedian is a huge supporter of his alma mater when it comes to football. He loved the glory years in the mid-2000s when the team had Matt Lienart and Reggie Bush, but his team has come on hard times lately.

The former "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" host is getting up there in age, but that hasn't gotten rid of any of his passion for Notre Dame football. He's seen frequently at their football games and you can be sure he will be watching their game against the No. 2 Florida State Seminoles.

You have to give Ice Cube some credit for supporting his team through thick and thin. The actor and singer has always been very vocal about his team interests, but for the last decade or so, it's been pretty embarrassing to be a Raiders fan.

Even though Seinfeld could easily be a Yankees fan as a resident of New York, he roots for the second team in New York. This is particularly ironic given that his friend in his show, George Costanza, works for the Yankees in the show. Perhaps this is Seinfeld's subtle way of jabbing at the late George Steinbrenner.

9. Will Smith - Philadelphia Eagles

Smith is a huge fan of every team in his hometown, but particularly of the Eagles. He's been featured on the field several times and as a celebrity, he's been able to experience some great moments with his team over the past couple of decades.

The comedian is another celebrity who endorses the second team in New York. He doesn't root for the Giants but the Jets in New York, and it's been a tough time for him recently. Nevertheless, he roots them on and usually has some great seats while doing it.

7. Bill Murray - Chicago Cubs

Murray is one of the best actors of his generation and he's also an avid supporter of the lovable losers. He's thrown out the first pitch and sung the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley Field more times than he can probably count and he even once filled in for Harry Caray on the radio after he had a stroke.

Rudd is a huge supporter of the Chiefs as well, but has gotten in the news lately because he invited Royals fans to celebrate with him at his mom's house following the Royals' Game 4 win over the Orioles. He routinely makes visits to both teams' stadiums and has become another great story stemming from the unlikely Royals' playoff run.

5. Billy Crystal - Los Angeles Clippers

Crystal gets a lot of credit because he was a season ticket holder and huge supporter of the Clippers before they were ever good. In fact, they were pretty awful for a while when he had season tickets. However, they're very good now and he's being rewarded for being loyal to his franchise.

4. Ben Affleck - Boston Red Sox

Affleck is a Bostonian and huge supporter of the town's baseball team. He can regularly be seen at Fenway Park taking in a game. However, the team may not be too happy about his fanhood. In what has come to be known as the "Ben Affleck curse," the team has lost on the actor's birthday every year since his most popular film "Good Will Hunting" was released in 1997.

The increasingly popular actor is one of the biggest fans in sports. He's always supported his Texas Longhorns and recently even delivered an inspirational speech to the team. In a speech that lasted about five minutes, he seemingly riled up the team and inspired them successfully after practice.

Spike Lee is one of the most popular celebrity fans in any sport. Part of that stems from his feud with Indiana Pacers guard Reggie Miller in the 1990s. Everyone remembers the Knicks blowing a playoff game late because of a Miller onslaught and Miller making a choking gesture toward Lee who was sitting courtside.

Nicholson goes to so many Lakers games that he's almost become synonymous with the team. He can always be seen with his red tinted glasses and trademark smile on the sideline. Unfortunately for him, lately that smile has been turning into a frown due to the Lakers' performance on the court.
