10 Ways to Spot a Bandwagon NFL Fan... Is This You?

I became a Raiders fan after feeling so jolted over their stomping the Redskins in SB XVIII. So at that point you could say I was a bandwagon fan. 38 years later, still a Raiders fan, so I dare say I have elevated myself.

None of my parents or family members watched the NFL so I wasn’t brought up rooting for the Bills,Falcons, Giants or Jets. I started to get into football in 2015-2016 and became a Chiefs fan mainly for two reasons. 1.

Every year the person who's team does the best gets a little prize and bragging rights next year.

I honestly don't care anymore and I like it when they can at least do a little well because so many of my friends have experienced misery forever but I still pretend to hate them with him lmao. I'd never actually ask him why but my theory is that in the 80s the Steelers declined and the Redskins were winning Super Bowls so I'm sure all his buddies talked a lot of shit lol. We're also somewhat partial to the Bucs because my sister moved to Tampa 10 years ago and my parents bought a house there a couple years after that and she's been going to Bucs, Lighting and even a few Rays games ever since and we started to kind of enjoy them from going to football parties with Bucs fans and stuff, we were super excited when we found out that not only was our torment at the hands of Brady coming to and end but we could actually benefit from him for once.

Pat's fan since 96' here. Watched the SB with my family and saw the emotion in them at only 7 years old. Guess I got lucky with the pick of the draw. Excited to be an underdog again, but not excited to face Buffalo twice a year. Who'd of thought just 3 years ago we'd be saying that, would've called them crazy. I will say, as a Pat's fan, I do not fear them, only as long as Belichick is on the sidelines. Scary team. As a Chiefs fan, I've seen some of my friends diss the Chiefs when they won the SB get on the wagon then start hating again when they lost the SB the next year I’m a Packer fan and I still wear my Eddie Lacy jersey to games Life long wait I am a fan of Raiders, just got my first tattoo for Christmas and of course its a Raider tattoo. I live in NC and after we got a franchise I had co-workers who thought I should be an automatic Panthers fan. I was 23 when that happened and I'll never be a fan of any other team.

09:58 hold up now, I’ve been a fan since 1989 of my Kansas City Chiefs, when I moved there. I moved away in mid 90’s (not my fault, I was a juvenile and my parents had to move) and I’ve never faltered, even if we were the worst team in the league, at times. So don’t sit here and say that you can’t be a Kansas City fan from the very beginning if you don’t live in the greater Kansas City area. But unless you’re a small child that has gravitated towards our juggernaut, you don’t get to come over and be a fan now.

He never gets invites to watch games at my house because he just automatically gravitates to the winning team. Even if it’s a sport he doesn’t watch. One night at a sports bar there were multiple games going on at once. Football, basketball, beach volleyball, and a B league Hockey game. True to form he was a fan of every winning team. We left him there. Lol. He still doesn’t get why we left him.

How do you feel about a tampa native that became a broncos fan when champ bailey was traded from the redskins for clinton portas of the broncos?? I also went to superbowl 47 to see the broncos verse the seahawks... I was alsp excited about trever Siemens coming to the broncos.. but then one year randomly found out he was traded to the vikings... i as a bronco fan still don't feel comfortable with russell wilson as the qb for the broncos due to him beating us in sb 47... I still enjoy the bucs though and call them my nfc team. Am I a ban wagon jumper or just a fan of both teams??

[@Jonathan_McConnell]

This is how it should go. 1 A child picks a team and make enemies in school thus solidifying love for the team. Or 2, you didn’t grow up in the sport so you pick a team whose colors you like. You support them, but only after five years of being in the sport do you truly love them.

[@mikeyvance3230]

I was born in 2004. I’ve grown up in Cincinnati but as a kid i wasn’t into football much and so i just picked the Cowboys because it was a star and you know as a kid stars are awesome. I haven’t talked about them as much as i’ve talked about the Bengals this off-season but I still have mentioned how i think they’ll make the playoffs but not win the division (yes i’m an honest fan they probably won’t win it all). Does that make me a band wagon fan?

My family is from Boston going back to the Mayflower. Patriots, Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins and Revolutions (yeah, I like soccer, wtf of it?). My earliest memory is watching SB XXXI with my dad and him getting so pissed he threw the TV out an open window, but still, I think I missed out on a lot of the suffering which came from being a Patriots fan before the Belichick Era. I mean, we had Bledsoe. To my mind, gatekeeping over sports fandom is almost as silly as being pretentious about food or wine. What exactly do you feel you've earned by being a fan of a team over a longer period over someone who just jumped in because they like watching a certain player?

If you wear any other team gear besides your team anywhere, any time you are a bandwagon fan or not a real fan at all. Even if your team isn't playing.

depends. Ive been a Saints fan for about 20 years now since going to a game of theirs in my city when they played here due to Katrina in 05. Was born into a Cowboys family.

Damn, Turns out I am a bandwaggon fan. I have been fan of the Niners since I started watching football because of Joe Montana back then. And never stopped one bit loving them. But I also like to love a team on the other association that's why I became a fan of the Browns 15 years ago. I chose them because I did not want to be accused of bandwaggoning. Turns out I really love them just as much now. When they face each other, I am dying....but I admit I really have a soft spot for the Browns; got 3 jerseys (Colt McCoy, Manziel and Garrett) vs 0 for SF.

[@Nightwishmaster]

I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing a team to like because you like the team or a player, or even having liking another team if you stick with them. If you've been a Pats, Chiefs and Bucs fan in the last 10 years then yeah...you're a bandwagoner lol. Also a lot of the things he talked about was more about being a casual fan than a bandwagoner which there's nothing wrong with either IMO. Not everyone is die hard addicted to football like a lot of us are and there's nothing wrong with that. It's honestly hard since there's so much downtime during the offseason and you're desperate for any kind of news lol.
