Answer 1

seems like a contradiciton... I wouldn't say bandwagon fan, but anybody who is a marlins or D-rays fan usually is.

Answer 2

LOL

I think I remember that kid

I'm pretty sure that he doesn't mean that he is a Rays fan but that he respects them. I can't be 100% sure though

Answer 3

the rays fans and the red sox fans after they won the world series

Answer 4

It is possible to be a fan of more than one team.

Answer 5

Why would you assume he/she is a "bandwagon" fan for liking 2 teams? It is easy for someone to be a fan of more then one team (and you know this as a Rays fan!).... Just an example: The Rays did not become a franchise until 1998. This person was probably still a baseball fan prior to this...... Maybe they lived in Florida prior to the Rays becoming a team and was a Tigers fan forever, yet when the Devil Rays came to their hometown they also began rooting for them...Do you expect them to just drop their other team?

I don't think rooting for 2 teams matters as long as when it comes down to the 2 teams they DO end up picking one over the other, and stay consistent with it... In this case, I would imagine this person would probably root for the Tigers over the Rays when they played each other....

I don't know, this is just an example. Maybe they are a bandwagon fan...I would give the guy/girl a break though.... :)

Answer 6

close, but if you are looking for TRUE bandwagon fans...look to red sox fans.  Although, this past year I give it to Pats fans, as not ONE has been seen since the superbowl.  

Answer 7

Yes, he probably is a bandwagon fan. However the Tigers fan could be for the LSU Tigers or something

Answer 8

Are you asking about yourself being a bandwagon fan? For a team that draws only 20,000 a night - max - the Rays sure seem to have a lot of fans this year....
