Define a true fan

[northernbillfan]

In the thread that asks about the most useless Bill, someone was saying that you can't be a true fan if you don't know the entire roster.

I find that a slight to the fans who root for the team and can't remember names and roles.

To me a true fan is anyone who is still cheering for the team, especially after these past couple of years of disappointment.

I agree with ya nbf!

I've learned that fans come in all shapes, sizes and knowledge.

I think anyone who questions the devotion of another fan is full of ****.

There are many different levels of being a fan.

I, for one, do not have the roster memorized. I have the first 40+ memorized, but I could care less who is on the practice squad. I think that **** is for stats junkies. People who feel that knowing the names, numbers, weight, height, 40 time, favorite color, and middle names of a 6th string DB make you a better fan, are usually the same ones who don't fully understand the game of football.

I spend more time analyzing what is going on the field, between starters.

Also, you cannot guage this, simply by the fact fans like me live in central PA. We do not have the bills on TV, unless we see them on satellite. And even then, it is just the game, and no post game interviews, no post game analysis, and no weekly updates (minus billszone).

To me a fan is someone who follows there team (no matter how strongly) week in and week out. If my wife (if I were married) knew whether or not the bills won the previous week, even if she didnt know who they played... I would consider her a fan!

A True fan doesn't turn on the teams starting QB at 0-3 when there is no player on the active roster that gives the team a better chance to win.

A true fan? Any fan that remains a fan of their team after it loses 4 straight superbowls. How's that for a definition?

[pcnorth22]

someone who wakes their ass up at 8:30 on a Sunday to shower...then drive through San Francisco city traffic, and struggle for 45 minutes to find parking so he can watch the game with other Bills fans...and drink bloody mary's...

or...

someone who thinks that the day the Bills win the Superbowl will probably rank up there with weddings and kids being born as the happiest days of their life

I disagree, although I could probably rattle off the entire teams lineup and probably most players since the mid 80's. I don't think you have to know everyone's name to be a die hard fan. My wife gets just as worked up as I do but she probably doesn't know who's on ST.

I think the stupidest thing is when fans of a a team who argue over who is a the biggest fan. Give me a break, we're all in it together.

I don't think you offended anyone, I just wanted to point out that true fans come in all shapes, sizes and levels of knowledge.
