The Fan we Love to Hate | Gunaxin Sports

Updated 3 months, 2 weeks ago

You know him all too well. No matter how wretched the team, no matter how insignificant the game being played, Were #1 guy is going to find a camera and let you know that his teamno matter the recordis by Gawd NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!! Were #1 guy isnt always the same and comes in many forms and fashions. Some of them obviously are die hard fans who love their team or alma mater deeply. However, more than a fair share of these idiots are phonies. And to quote the literary icon Holden Caulfield, I hate ...

a goddamn phony. Without further ado, heres the list of phonies: 1 Drunk frat boy Were #1 guy

Normally spotted at college sporting events. Youve seen this clown plenty, usually shirtless, always shit-faced drunk. No matter if you flip to a mid-November Wednesday night game between Toledo and Directional Michigan on ESPNU, you can always find this douche looking for a camera. Never mind his soon to be Alma Mater (maybe) is 2-7 and hasnt seen a .500 record in a decade, he and his bros need you to know theyre on TV!! WOOOHOOO!! Yeah, they care about the game about to be played.

Usually seen at NFL or NCAA football games. Its likely just grown up frat boy who has moved on to the pros, but not always. Sometimes, this guy is still at college games and chances are, hes never seen the inside of a college classroom. Somehow, he got his paws on free tickets and he is his state Us #1 fan (aka a townie, someone who lives in said college town though never attended a single hour of college) and guaranteed hes sauced enough to make a complete ass of himself when he sees the camera flash his way. Think this guy's ever seen a college classroom? Me neither.

Most likely seen at any sporting event where she thinks she can get on TV or youtube. She makes the phony wave and flashes the Were #1 sign and has the beauty pageant smile. And she probably couldnt tell you the difference between a false start, a fast break or a balk. But dammit, Were #1!! Ok, maybe she's not THAT bad.

As a father of young kids, this is the one on this list most likely to get a pass (and it should have the blame directed to their numskull parents instead). But still, theres something oh-so-annoying about this guy. Look, I get that its a great experience to see a game with dad, but please, take the temporary tattoo off of your cheek, throw that foam hand away, and stop saying youre number one! Yes kid, we get it...the Red Saaawks are number one!

No matter how miserable the last 20 years of football theyve played, Notre Dame fan lets you know theyre going to a BCS game if they win 6 games. Never mind that theyve been consistently pummeled in bowl games for two decades, they annually schedule any Service Academy they can to get to .500, they have a TV contract with NBC that televises all of these dreadful games, that the one and only RUDY attended their divine institutionthe real reason to loathe Notre Dame are their miserably obnoxious fans. The problem that makes them even more annoying than any other fan is this: the typical Notre Dame Were #1 fan never set foot on the campus in South Bend to learn anything. Theyre either a townie, Catholic, Irish, or live in Chicago or any combination of the twoa combination that makes this Were #1 guy the worst of any of these perpetrators. What are the chances this guy ever attended a class at Notre Dame? Probably none, but hey, he's 30% Irish!

I hate bandwagon fans, they love a team or a specific player, but couldn't tell you who anyone else is or what they played, especially not ones from other teams.

I don't understand fans in general. You're cheering for your "home team" which is staffed by people mostly not from your town, or people who would just as easily leave for more money and have zero loyalty towards you. What's the point? What's the motivation to support a group of people that who don't know/don't care you exist?

Perfect title! I love to hate those guys! I recently had one sit in front of me at the ONU homecoming football game. He was the "I used to play and when I played I was better" type. He bashed every small mistake, screamed at the players he knew, and stood up about 80% of the time. Having to just near this guy made me hate being at the game. He ruined my experience and I wanted someone to ... See all content Hide content

The we're #1 guy is annoying but not as annoying as the violently competitive fan. He's the one who your scared to talk to when his team is loosing and then goes out looking for a fight when its over. That guy sucks.

Chris 3 months, 3 weeks ago on Wordpress

I hate obnoxious fans as much as the next guy but this list seemed to be aimed at general sports crowd clichés and not at truly detestable personalities types (sans the notre lame thing).

My list:

1) Bandwagon fans

2) People that loudly voice (scream) an opinion without knowledge of the game (including its rules)

3) Chicks that never watch a game but berate other ... See all content Hide content

Im pretty sure all these kinds of fans can be found at football (sorry, thats 'soccer') games. Not Rugby though - we dont seem to get so many losers there...

With the amount of straight up crappy teams in the NFL this year, this phenomenon has bothered me even more than usual. Titans fan holding up the finger while losing 59-0 is just slightly delusional.
