Do you have to play a sport to be a fan of it?

Question

example: i never played baseball, so can i wear the swag be a fan of it?

Answer 1

No. I think that if you do play ot you might like it more...but you don't have to play it to like it (well, in most cases).

Answer 2

Of course, all being a fan means is that you have the appreciation for the game and how it's played. For example, I pole vault, but am an avid football enthusiast.

Answer 3

Nah, but if you have experience playing a sport you'll have more respect for it

Answer 4

Dude, believe it or not, but there's plenty of coaches out there (even in pro's) who never played they sport and they are getting paid thousands, even millions to coach it. I don't play any intstruments but you better believe I love music. That's why sports are so great man, it's a spectators heaven. They do it for the fans. Who cares if you haven't played, that means nothing.

Answer 5

No, not at all...BUT it will give you a greater appreciation as to what the athletes are doing as well as a greater understanding of the particular sport.

Answer 6

No. of course not. Go right ahead, nothing should be stopping you!

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

No, you do not have to play a sport to be a fan of it.  I'm one of the biggest softball fans ever. I'm absolutely in love with it, yet I've never played it before. I say wear it!!

Answer 9

i dont think so and if so i broke the rules many times. i love watching and following football but i dont play on a team.
