Casual Fan

A person who enjoys the act of tailgating more than the sport itself. In many cases, the casual fan knows nothing about the actual sport being observed. This often results in the misuse of sport terminology, mispronounciation of athlete names, and overall confusion with rally cries.

Girl: "I just overheard Billy ask how many lay-ups Brett Favre has made."
Guy: "That's typical for a casual fan like him."

casual fan

A sports fan that has only a rudimentary understanding of the sport they follow.

Jose obsessed over batting averages and RBI because he was too dense to comprehend wins above replacement and BABIP. What a casual fan!

Casual fan

A sports fan that has shallow knowledge of the sport they claim to love, yet thinks they know everything. The worst types of fans to interact with, especially on social media. Only watches major brand teams or schools.

Casual fan 1: Hey bro, how about that Duke UNC game last night?
Casual fan 2: I know man. Can’t wait until Michigan Ohio State in the fall! It’ll be the only game I intend to watch!

Casual-Fan 

Casual-Fans are fans who aren't particularly into their fandom. They enjoy it, know some trivia, see some movies, have some stuff. Casual-Fans are more laid back.
Note: It is possible to be a Casual-Fan in one area, and a Proper-Fan in another. Or a Casual-Fan and a Psuedo-Fan, etc, etc.

Beth is a Casual-Fan of Star Wars, but a Proper-Fan of Star Trek. Things Star Wars Proper-Fans get annoyed about don't bother Beth, at least not enough to whine about.

Casual UFC Fan 

Someone that watches MMA and thinks he knows more about what's going on and what to do than the fighters themselves even though he's never done a martial art in his life. Strongly prefers strikers and hates when they grapple because he thinks it's boring.

Dylan: Bro, what is he doing? If that was me I would've gotten up and hit him with a flying knee. And Khabib sucks, all he does is hug people it's so boring.
Owen: Dude, you have no idea what these guys are trying to do or how exhausted they are right now. You can't even see the strategy that goes on throughout the minutes because you've never experienced martial arts before. You're a Casual UFC Fan.
