Bandwagon Fan

Trevor Gorman.

Trevor Gorman: Everytime the hawks have a good season, I dislike them more. Why, you ask? Because more bandwagon, fairweather fans appear. Some of you are real fans and I support that. The rest of you are pathetic and annoying.

Lora Metcalf: Bandwagon definition: A party, cause, movement, etc., that by mass appeal or strength readily attracts many followers. Hmmm… Please tell me about some of your favorite football teams. Chicago Bears, huh? Have you even been to Chicago? Maybe you had a Chicago deep-dish pizza? Does that count?… Oh yes, don't forget the Oregon Ducks. I bet you don't like them because they are a national powerhouse. It must be because you love the city of Eugene, and the amazing campus that you've never set foot on. Perhaps you just REALLY like mallards? They are pretty cute, huh?

Why get so upset when Seattle fans have a rightful reason to celebrate? Does it make you mad when people in Western WA talk about how happy they are when it is sunny outside? Yes, it rains throughout most of the year, but we don't dwell on it. We are here. We live with it. But if we talked about it whenever it rains, it would sure get old. But I am damn sure happy when the sun is out.

So before you gripe about how mad you are at Seattle fans for their recent success, jump off your own 'bandwagon'.
Trevor Gorman: Lora, I've been a bears fan since I was a child. Always have been always will be. So no bandwagon there. The reason the bandwagon hawks fans piss me off is because they're all quiet as fuck when the hawks lose unless they're making excuses and blaming officials. Then, if the hawks win, they talk more shit than anybody in the world. If the hawks have a bad season they all claim to not like football and whine about the Sonics being gone.

Lora Metcalf: But you haven't told me why you like the ducks?

Trevor Gorman Because my roommate at the time was a USC fan and I decided to be a Ducks fan to spite him. Stuck with them since.

Lora Metcalf So why didn't you pick a shitty team? or did you just admit you are a bandwagon fan?

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.

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 who now cheers for LSU: I was just a fan of the coach, Charlie Weis.
The OSU fan: So you must have began watching him coach Kansas City Chiefs in 2010 right?
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?
Bandwagon fan: LSU! Because I love Lousiana!
The OSU fan: But LSU lost.
Bandwagon fan: GO IRISH! I'm an Irish fan now!

Bandwagon Fan

A sports fan who only supports a team, because they are currently playing well, and will usually jump from one team to another if they start to lose. They usually know nothing about them, or their history, and will usually make up lame excuses for supporting them such as liking their name or logo.
Person A: I am a New York sports fan, you?
Person B: Well, I'm a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Rockets, and Toronto FC, you?
Person A: Interesting. Can you name atleast 3 players from these teams, besides Star Players, and why you support those teams?
Person B: Sure I can. Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato! I support them because they have cool logos!
Person A: I see, you're a bandwagon fan. Well then, good luck this year.
