Dear Bandwagon Fans,

Please just stop. Yes this may sound rude, but the true fans of sports teams are starting to become annoyed with you.

True fans are there to support the team through thick and thin. They will be on their team's side supporting them in their toughest times. It gets very annoying when you decide to be a fan of our team just because we are playing well or may win the championship. And when we stop doing well you get up and leave.

Fans do not care if their team wins or looses; sure it can be disappointing but that isn't the sole purpose of an individuals fandom for a team. Being a true fan means you won't abandon your team just because they didn't play that well in a few games. Or during the entire season.

Being a true fan takes a lot of time, dedication, passion and commitment.

True fans will be out at the game in the middle of winter during a snow storm or in the dead heat of summer. Fans don't care how many layers they need to stay warm and not get sick, cold or possibly hypothermia. They don't care how much they are sweating or how hot they are. They just want to be at the game cheering as loud as they can to support their team.

True fans don't care how long it takes to get to a game. They will go the distance and be there to support their team. They will find a way to get to their team's game, wherever that may be. Whether that is driving 24+ hours, taking a train, walking, or flying, they will do what it takes to be at that game!

These dedicated fans invest so much of their time in their team! If a game doesn't start until 8 or maybe 9 at night, true fans will stay up during the entire game to make sure they see what is happening and be there for their team. They don't care how tired they will be the next day, they just want to be there for their team.

Being a true fan is a commitment. You are committing to be there for your team whether they win or loose or something awful happens. You will be there for your team no matter what is going on in your life. Your team is a priority and you would do anything to support your team.
