A fan is a fan

What does a person have to do to be known as a "die hard fan" of a certain team and what makes other people judge a person's loyalty to a team?

It is a well debated argument among fans of the same team.

Fans who self proclaim themselves as a die hard, call out the others who show little less support to the team as to how the die hard shows their support.

What if the fan who shows little less support does not have the money to spend to show their support via t-shirt, hat, jersey and etc.

How can other fans of the same team judge the person based on not knowing why they do not wear the team's colors during the time the team plays?

How long does it take to be called a fan of a team?

My friend Jenny Martinez tried to answer these questions on her own.

She sets examples during times where her team was going through troubles and the fans of now where not there at the time.

She asked other die hard fans to expressed their thoughts on the fans who are not die hard's, and they agreed with her.

But I find that these questions cannot be answered because every fan's situtation is different, because it shouldn't be up to other fans to claim one fan's loyalty to the team.

So call "bandwagons" is a term used to describe a fan who suddenly appeared during a time the team is succeeding and claims they have been a fan for a while.

Other definitions for a bandwagon fan is a person claiming they are a fan and not knowing one fact about the team.

If a person wants to cheer on a team, than let them, the team does not care who is a fan of theirs.

It's the people who are the die hard fans who care if the person is a true fan or not.

It splits a line in the middle between the fans who care about calling out the bandwagons and the fans who can careless about these fans.

Instead of becoming one group of fans cheering on their team, these fans cause conflict between each other and cause two parties fighting about nonsense stuff.

As a fan of the Lakers, I see this everyday on Twitter.

Laker fans argue among each other about stupid things. One being bandwagons and instead of agreeing on one thing, it causes more arguments.

Every Laker fan should not care about other fan's loyalty because they should care about the team, and know for themselves if they are true fan or not.

It shouldn't be up to other fans to determine if one fan's loyalty to the team is faithful or not.

If a person wants to root for the Lakers or Yankees because the are the popular team than let them, and if a person self proclaims that they are only a Laker fan no matter what then let them too.

What it boils down to is that Kobe Bryant or Derek Jeter can give a rat's ass of who is cheering their teams on every night.
