I hate people who claim theyre a fan of a team yet they can barely name the players in it.

Their typical excuse is I dont have to know the players or watch the games to be a fan. Uh. I thought you were a fan? Just exposed themselves as a fake poser

IMO a true fan watches as many games as possible and knows everything they can about their favorite teams. Everyone who isnt is a fraud poser and I cant be the only person who hates people like what I described

That's what I call a casual fan. It doesn't annoy me, but if you can't keep up with a conversation about the team you claim to be a fan of, you shouldn't call yourself one.

Why are a lot of you more annoyed at real sports fans? It's a fucking hobby. Do you also get annoyed with model train enthusiasts or people who like to paint?

But do they make topics gatekeeping about who can be called a fan?

Probably in their own social spaces, lol.

Seems like you're calling me out. I'm usually a fan of a sport team because of location or something personal, not because of the people. I don't think i cared to really invest in who's who outside of the quartbacks/mvp folks. That's said college teams (during my time there) were the exception since i tended to have classes with some of the players lol so it's easier to care about them

tbh you arent an actual fan. youre just a casual who watches the team here and there.

not much different than girls at the sports games (for example) who dont know much of whats going on in the game but is only there because its a cool thing to do

I'm not a sports fan, but this seems to me like being annoyed at someone calling themselves a fan of a band because they just like listening to their music and they don't obsessively buy all of their albums, attend all their concerts and follow all the gossip about the band.

People enjoy things on different levels, who gives a fuck?

Those people don't tend to scream and yell and fist fight and riot because they made a particularly good or bad painting or make a really cool train.

Sports fans can be extremely annoying, especially when they act like they can't wrap their heads around someone not liking sports.

wouldnt be surprised if you couldnt even name players on your team or you barely even watch them

If they are faking to be into sports, they are more than likely trying to connect with you andor your circle of friends.

I really don't see the harm here.

I'd get way more triggered at someone faking to be something serious like a doctor. Not someone faking to be interested in whatever I like because they genuinely want to be around me....

People who like model trains don't call others weird, girly, or ***s for not liking model trains. Nor do they scream loud as fuck and act obnoxious when they're playing with their toy trains. At least the few one's I've met haven't.

Of course not all sports fans are like that and really obnoxious super hardcore fans of anything suck, but sports fans of that kind are the worst.

I see the harm. I hate fakes and posers who pretend to be something theyre actually not.

Theyre also the reason ticket prices are so damn high. I know this from people being on their damn phone in Warriors games instead of watching the damn thing and its an insult to an actual fan of the team that theyre taking up a nice seat in the arena that a real fan would have appreciated better.

It reeks of insecurity and makes me look down on them even more if they cannot be who they really are around me.

Yeah you wouldnt connect much to me if you didnt like sports much but at least I can respect you being real.

IMO if you want to take being into sports, at least know who some of the damn players are.

honestly Id only be flattered if they actually watched the games and were actually interested in what was going on and they actually took the time and effort to know the thing theyre watching if theyre trying to impress me

other than that, if they are how I described in the OP, they are nothing but a fraud poser

well if you're such a real fan why aren't you at the games yourself? like they objectively put their money where their supposed fandom is. just saying from here it sounds like they care about the team more.

but seriously nah, this is a dumb thing to try and gatekeep. let people do what they like and do it how they like.

like just try and imagine how insufferable a pats fan would be if they were like *snort* you didn't live through the bledsoe days or like a bruins fan what you think you like the Bs you don't remember cam neely

Typically because a lot of real fans around here get outpriced from attending games because its so damn expensive. This is very common for SF Giants, 49ers, or Warrior fans. The fake fans who I hate are a big reason for this. The prices are so damn high because of them.

The only tickets real fans can still afford around here are San Jose Sharks tickets.

A lot of real fans here cant afford the tickets because the cost of living here is too high and the only ones that typically can are affluent yuppies who can care less about whats going on in the games and are only at the games because its the hip, cool, and trendy thing to do.

what makes you think I dont go?

I have tickets for the Warriors and Lakers game in Valentines day weekend and I have tickets for the Sharks and LA Kings game next month in MLK day. Im even planning to go to more if my responsibilities allow for it and I can find babysitting.

I just said what I said earlier because I know a lot of fans who would die for the opportunity to go to games but cant afford to do it because those prices arent exactly friendly to a Starbucks barista
