Somebody who has absolutely no knowledge of anything sports related but loves to root for only winning teams, so they can fit in.

Get the Bandwagon Bitch mug.In baseball, someone who shamelessly cheers for the Boston Red Sox not because they follow the team, grew up in close proximity, or even really like them but because of the Red Sox recent period of success and popularity.
When the Red Sox finally miss the playoffs (as they did in 2010), or lose their coolness, the Boston Bandwagoner loses interest in the team and (often) in baseball.
Generally, Boston bandwagoners quote Jon Papelbon and love to say the name "Big Papi" using a a Boston accent... "Big Pawpi." They also talk about Dustin Pedroia's short stature, team-mentality and try to convince you of his legitimacy as an MVP-caliber second baseman.

Mike: Hey you guys see the Yanks-Sox game last night. It was sick.
Craig: Yeah man I---
Boston BandWagoner: Yeah it was really wicked guys, Pedroia and Big Pawwwpi deserve MVP and Kevin Maillah is the best clutch stahhh evah. Cowboy Up!
Mike: Kevin MILLAR retired a couple of years ago and hasn't played in Boston for a half-decade. You're disgusting.
Craig: Stop saying "wicked," you're from Indianapolis you Boston Bandwagoner.

Get the Boston BandWagoner mug.Related Words
A long distance bandwagon fan is a specific variety of bandwagon fan. Typical bandwagon fans are local, they ignore the particular sport altogether when their local team is doing poorly, and suddenly become superfans when they're doing well. Meanwhile, long distance bandwagon fans will become superfans of any team in the country when they're doing well, and then just as quickly pick a different team when the tables are turned.
They are often spotted wearing team merchandise which is later donated to a thrift store. Just like the regular bandwagon fans, they will swear that they've always liked their current team du jure, and vehemently deny ever being a fan of any other team.

Some prime examples of teams with great numbers of long distance bandwagon fans are: San Francisco 49ers in the 80s, Edmonton Oilers in the 80s, Dallas Cowboys in the 90s, Chicago Bulls in the 90s, Atlanta Braves in the 90s and early 2000s, New York Yankees in the late 90s and 2000s, and Indianapolis Colts in the 2000s.
LDBF: I love the Yankees! Those are my boys and always have been! I'm soooooo lucky that my favorite team is so good!!!
REALIST: Yeah, ok. Luck has nothing to do with it. You live in Kansas, you've never travelled anywhere near New York, and somehow I doubt you can name the starting lineup. You're the epitome of a long distance bandwagon fan.
LDBF: Whatever, you're just jealous because my team rulez!!!
REALIST: Right, because it would be so difficult for me to buy a Yankees hat and start calling myself a fan. <rolls eyes>

Get the bandwagon mug.GM and Chrysler joined the handwagon last fall, flying to Washington in private jets to go beg for bailout money.
People who hate middle-aged white males are usually the first ones on the handwagon to get tax dollars reallocated by the government.
Peter jumped on the handwagon the other day by pocketing his mortgage payment for 3 months and quitting his job. Now that he's missed a couple payments, he's living large! His loan has been refinanced, and he gets unemployment and welfare from the government. He just sits around all day looking at p0rn on the intertube.

Get the handwagon mug."Bandwagon bitching" is most easily done on social networking sites. Someone posts about something complaining and whining and then all the others on their friends list just jump in there to further the bitching no matter if they've even really thought more than five seconds about the subject or at least 5% of the scope of the problem. Bitching in agreement and in a crowd is even more fun! Let's just back up the original whiner cuz they're my bud. In the old days, they used to do it around the water cooler at work. Now they've learned how easy it is to reach a mass audience via the Internet.
Social networking site conversation example below:
Fred: Wow mannnn.....those g**damned gub'ment officials sure are f**k-ups! I was stuck in my car for 12 hours! They need to get more snow plows like Boston! Eventually I had to take a dump on the side of the road and abandon my car (and my turd....thanks goodness).
John: Yeah...those asshats!
Beatrice: You know....I would have done this.....blah blah blah
<About 50 more people here chiming in and agreeing with Fred also and how they've been done wrong with one minute solutions.>
Ralph: Did you realize the weather pattern changed and hit the city instead of going south of it? You should have left work and got home. Our office shut down early as the weather was changing.
Fred: No....how was I supposed to know that?
Ralph: Did you get my text earlier on your iPhone?
Fred: Sure did.
Ralph: How about that iPhone with the Weather Channel App on it???
Fred: Uhhhhhhh
Ralph: How about that TV in your building lobby that always has the Weather Channel playing?
Fred: I don't give a shit....I'll just bitch with my buds some more on Facebook so I feel better and empowered cuz I am right!
Beatrice: You tell him Fred! Ralph is a douche...
<About 50 other people chiming in here giving Ralph a douche equivalent label.>
Ralph: OK....I think I have to go enter a new term on Urban Dictionary now (bandwagon bitching)...later
