This is in regards to fans of sports

 A friend of mine and i , have been having a disagreement on what makes a true , or a great fan.  He says if someone supports a college football team , they must also support and follow all of the college's other sports programs to be a true and supportive fan. lol. Here's my answer to that one ! This is the same reply i left him and my thoughts on the topic. This touches on what we talked about the other day. If i'm an o.u. fan , osu fan , etc if i don't watch o.u. wrestling that doesn't mean i'm not a true fan. Most people don't have time to follow ( watch )  each section of all the schools sports programs. I hope the best for them and hope they do well  , but people are going to follow what is interesting to them to watch. I have always been a o.u. college football fan.. college basketball doesn't interest me too much. On the flip side i've watch nba basketball forever , back to when jordan played and magic still played. A fairweather or bandwagon fan is someone who only is cheering for a team when they do well, and are winning, but ready to jump ship at anytime, to cheer for another team.  I think you are a very supportive u.t. fan , but not because you follow their basketball , football , wrestling, baseball and  rugby .. NO. You are a supportive fan because you wouldn't stop rooting for them when they door poorly.  Now as far as women watching , some only started watching basketball when the thunder came here , and most couldn't have told you what a layup is.  So for the women who didn't follow the nba until we got our own team does that make them bad fans ? Not really, i'm glad in this day in age people can band together and cheer for anything and be positive.  If someone likes something sports wise and roots for something , and tries hard to understand it and doesn't jump ship when they lose , to me THAT'S what makes them a good fan, NOT if they watch all of the sections of sports a college has to offer. Without looking it up how did the U.T. cheerleaders do in cheer competition ? Oh wait you don't follow it ! Lol. see how silly that sounds ?  People follow what interests them, plain and simple. My husband loves soccer , i've never enjoyed it .. he's a soccer fan and i'm not. So what ? We watch and do what we enjoy in life, as long as you support your team in the good and the bad, you are holding up your end in your sports marriage in my opinion.
