Fake Fans

To a true sports fan, probably the most annoying thing to witness is someone falsely rooting for a team that they support for all the wrong reasons, like solely rooting for them only because of the fact that they are winning. Many people know fans like this as bandwagon fans, people who only jump on a team's bandwagon when they start winning, but bandwagon fans are just a small sub-category of the real evil, the evil known as........the fake fan. Fake fans come in all shape and sizes and they are, admittedly, fairly harmless, just really really annoying. Fake fans are the people who claim they follow a team, but can't name their starting lineups, or they know hardly any history of the team. A fake fan claims that he loves his team, yet will miss games for the flimsiest of excuses, a fake fan will leave games early to beat traffic no matter what the score is, a fake fan will do anything that makes a real fan ashamed to be near them.  The sad truth is that most fans are fake fans, and the only thing us real fans can do is call them out on it.
