A Root
When you’re behind someone and you hope they win, even if you’re going to lose because of it. Like when you’re in a race and you wish the other guy wins just so you can go home and eat pizza.
"The whole club is rooting for him like he’s going to win and they’ll get free pizza."
"I’m rooting for him because I know he’s going to fail and I’ll laugh at him."
"The team is rooting for their friend like he’s the only one who can win and they all get cake."
