How can I spot a Bandwagoner?

Question

how do they reveal themselves?

Answer 1

they are talking about players who retired or were traded. Can't name 10 players on the team.  Don't know who the manager/owner/gm is.  

Answer 2

Ah yes the ever irritating bandwagoner.The one with the cool thre to four color bright hat,matching shirt,aweat pants and matching sneakers.Ussually has a chick with his teams shirt on too.Sometimes if you follow them home they are flying the teams flag from their drainage gutter too.They never miss a game but can only talk about players on the team from when they were winners not losers in the past.Some may even memorize years this new team won championships and throw them in others face.They get the sense that they too are somehow winners now that his team they mysteriously all the sudden love are winning.They start to refer to players by there first name and talk like they eat with them after the game statements like "Bobby had a good game last night" or "We won a tight won yesterday" or they will take their favorite players interview off of ESPN and talk about it as they were there.Example "Steve said when he had that last batter at 3-0 count he was shure he would walk him".If it is football they will always wear their team colors on monday if they won.A the life of the bandwagoneer.Sometimes they are fans of their wife if they have a good night too.

Answer 3

Ask them something about the history of their "team."  They usually won't know about anything that hasn't happened in the past 5 years.

Answer 4

Come to the Basketball section about this time of the day and you will see plenty of LA Lakers snowflaky bandwagoners.

Answer 5

Anyone thats a Red Sox fan.

Answer 6

ask the bandwagonner to identify a few player on which ever team a few years before the team got good (or started winning)

Answer 7

1. Their knowledge only extends to knowing the stars of the team

2.  They couldn't name the Opening Day starting lineup if you asked them

3.  They can't spell the players' names correctly

4.  They watch a HUGE walkoff win then refer to Marlon Byrd as "that guy who did that..."

5.  They don't know anything about your team's history or farm system

6. They couldn't tell you the name of the manager

7.  They leave before the game's over when "their team" is down a few runs

8. When "their team" is losing, they drift off into silence and clap for the opposing pitcher

Answer 8

They will know about the current team, but not about the history and legacy of the team.

Answer 9

They couldn't name you the line up, the regular starters, and refer to them as "that guy". The Red Sox band wagoners tend to spell it Redsox and know nothing about the history before 04.

Answer 10

They don't know the history of the franchise.

Answer 11

they will root for a team, when they are at their finest, but then run away when the team is struggling............they are little punks who are not real fans and should all be sent to prison!

Answer 12

I read a funny guide on it once.  Basically, they will have all the latest gear, probably buy a scorecard/program, and wont know anything about the team.  Bandwagoners are usually smart enough to stay away from real fans because they are easily spotted.  a bandwagoner’s knowledge about his newly acquired favorite team usually dates back to the day before the last championship parade.

Answer 13

I think it's the same as when Congress tries to define pornography.

I can't define a bandwagoner, but I know one when I see one.

Answer 14

Simple , they  only Say go ___ the teams name and  could not be able to tell any players besides the 2 famous players and cant even spell the teams name right or players
