I win money when my fantasy team wins. I win...what, happiness points when my real team wins? People who make posts like the one you did are too involved in a team that doesn't care about them and takes a lot of joy in accomplishments they had absolutely no hand in.

I'm a fan of teams because they are fun to watch, have talented players, stuff like that. Not because I was born there. I'm sorry if this doesn't meet your cutoff for "real fan."

There's nothing to apologize for, it just means you're not a real fan of a team (you have none of the equivalent of "faith"). You are a fan of football.

I am definitely a fan of football, but I still consider myself a fan of a few teams. They are teams I root for for a specific reason though, not because I was born there or thats who my dad roots for. I just don't see why this makes me not a "real" fan. Or any of the other disparaging terms that usually accompany that.
