What's the story
While celebrities have countless fans, they are also ardently passionate about certain individuals or topics.
And, for some, it is sports.
So, today, we'll look at A-list stars across Hollywood and beyond, who have worn their love for games/teams on their sleeves.
These five celebrities have not only shown up to support their favorite teams repeatedly but also ventured into businesses around sports.

He was not dubbed as the "sports president" by the media for nothing.
An avid golfer, Obama was often spotted at various basketball matches. Actually, setting up a full-length basketball court at the White House was one of the first things he did during his presidency.
He was also a regular at baseball games.
