Get the Fair-Weather Friend mug.A person who is not a dedicated fan of a sports team. They only watch a game if it peaks their interest.
In most cases fair weather fans are bandwagoners who join in on the hype of a team or sporting event. Examples of this are: The Superbowl, The World Series, and Playoffs in general.
In other cases fair weather fans are people who just watch the sport or certain games when 'the weather is right'(when they feel like it). These fans are not characterized as bandwagoners because they have been fans of the sport/team before the hype and or big game (ex. Superbowl).
