Bandwagon Fan

Anyone who claims they are a "fan" of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don't own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.

Rousslan became a bandwagon fan only after Manchester City won the league in 2012.

bandwagon fan

A fan who claims he only liked a team because of a football coach or a certain player/s. If s/he becomes a fan of the team the coach or player joins, they're a bandwagon fan. If they do not become a fan of the coach or player's new team, and stopped liking their old team, they're a bandwagon fan. Fans who just want to be a pain in everyone's butt and be an antagonist by not cheering for the home team. You have the right to cheer for any team you want. However, to cheer for your hometown's rival just to be a prick is not cool.

The Ohio State Fan: Why don't you like Notre Dame football anymore? You once were a fan in 2005.

Bandwagon Fan: I never knew he coached the Chiefs.

The OSU fan: Your two favorite teams faced each other in the Citrus Bowl last year (2017). LSU vs Notre Dame. Who did you cheer for?

The OSU fan: But LSU lost.
