Which NFL team does Josh Hart support?

The Washington Commanders. New York Knicks On SI reported on December 22, 2024, that Josh Hart "has hardly hid his love of the Washington Commanders," in a piece that also noted Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns support the Philadelphia Eagles. Sportskeeda backed it up on December 30, 2024, writing, "It's no secret that Josh Hart is a huge fan of the Washington Commanders NFL team." Both are outlet reports rather than something Hart is quoted saying, so the claim rests on what the writers say about him.

It fits his background. Hart was born in Silver Spring, Maryland, and went to high school at Wheaton in Silver Spring and at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. He played college ball at Villanova from 2013 to 2017, and the Knicks, his team since 2023, are his fifth pro stop after the Lakers, the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers.

What soccer team does Josh Hart support?

Chelsea. This one comes in his own voice, in a quote carried by SI.com (SI On Knicks): "I've been like a die-hard, like really dedicated fan, and I've been supporting them since I was 16, 17." He did not name a year, and the outlet's page carries no date. The Maryland and Washington ties that fit the Commanders do not apply here, since Chelsea is a London club. He gives no reason for the pick in the quote.
