In sportcasting, having a bias toward your hometown team or toward the team for which you play/used to play.
The local newspapers practice homerism, predicting that the hometown teams will win and complaining about the refs when the local teams lose.

Being blindly devoted to your favorite sports team wether they are good or not.
Saying clearly untrue things about your favorite team (i.e. Jamarcus Russell was the best qb ever)
Should only be used in a derogatory way of describing an annoying fan (i.e. Lakers "fans")

Homere is a male name of disputed origins which means "bringer of fun and joy", anyone named Homere has a lot of pressure as they will be expected to be humble, kind, generous, friendly, funny, musical, a good citizen, culturally eclectic, fashionable, intelligent and friends with peoples of all backgrounds.
Person 1: I think I would like to name my future son Homere
Person 2: If you're gonna name your son Homere, you better pray that the child becomes awesome, that name is a lot to live up to
