Identifying Bandwagon Fans

By Jason Larrsohn


Within the sports community, there is a fierce amount of loyalty when it comes to specific teams. Fans tend to pick a team to support in their early years, and then stay loyal to the team for their entire life.

Following certain sports teams and watching games is a real hobby for many people. They put a lot of time, energy, and effort into keeping up with a team's schedule and attending and watching games.

People who are not sports fans often ask sports fans what it is all about, and why they're so passionate about sports. Many sports fans love the feeling of community they feel when watching a game with friends or family.

Although you may have grown up in a household or with parents that didn't care about sports, there are still ways to become a sports fan. All you have to do is have a healthy curiosity and a healthy amount of interest.

Indeed, there are many reasons why being a sports fan is good for your health. One reason is that it inspires you to get moving yourself.

Chances are that they're likely to say Arizona State. The next step is to ask them why Arizona State is their favorite team.

If they can come up with solid reasons why Arizona State is their favorite team, like statistics, plays, or strategies, odds are that they're a true fan. But if they can only say vague comments about the team being awesome or really good, then chances are they're a bandwagon fan.

You need to walk from the parking lot to the stadium, and then up many flights of stairs to your seat. You're usually standing from most of the game, and then when you're sitting, you're leaping out of your chair often whenever your team scores.

Even if you can't make it to the physical game, watching it at home will still help you burn calories. If you're up and moving around and getting into the game, you will still burn calories.

One way to narrow down which games you watch is to pick a league you want to focus on. Many people are fans of the NBA, the National Basketball Association, because they enjoy watching professional teams. On the other hand, many people enjoy watching college basketball as well. It is all based on personal preference.

Studies have shown that regular and consistent social interaction can help people cope with stress and negativity in their lives. It can also help your immune system stay stronger.

But if the fan only likes a team when they're doing well, this is a big clue to you that they're probably not a real fan. Another way to tell if someone is a bandwagon fan is to ask them if they're a bandwagon fan in a very straightforward manner.

If they become very defensive and rude, they're probably a bandwagon fan. If they don't really care what you're saying and are confident in being a fan of their team, then they are probably a real fan.

If your friends are also decked out in Texas Tech apparel, then the feeling of unity and community only grows. Although it may seem odd, being a sports fan is definitely good for your overall health.
