Is hoping your video game of choice any different from cheering on a sports team on TV every weekend? Being a fanboy makes more sense than being a fan of a team because you spend time playing the console of your choice and learning to love it. With sports you are just blindly liking a team for no reason. It has no basis. I don't get how people can say fanboys are delusional while people who are a fan of sports or politics aren't. it's essentially the same thing! Discuss!


Hoping your sports team wins is also stupid. Because most people are fan for no reason.

Let me give you an example okay?

Lets say you are fan of soccer club  XY.  You either are soccer club because
A) your parents (most likely father) influenced you. So you only THINK they like the team and because people hate change they keep being a FAN because they are used to being a fan.
B) your friends influenced you (look at XY its cool. Please have a weak personality and just do what others around you do otherwhise you will not be part of our GROUP k? thanks)
C) the team always wins and you have a superiority complex and like to win constantly (alot of people keep being a fan because. They cant accept that they were wrong so MY TEAM HAS TO BE GOOD AGAIN I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU!!!! And because they dont like change)
D) you like a specific player and thats why you THINK you like the team
E) They are from the same city as you (BUT! This wont be the case since there is several teams from e.g BERLIN and most people just like Hertha because thats the best team in BERLIN so it basically is C) all over again. You chose the best team in your town=you want to feel superior)
F) you were playing for the same team when you were younger/or a family member did that (THIS IS THE ONLY REASON THAT MAKES SENSE but ONLY as long as you just played for a single team. If you played for several teams you will most likely chose the best team AGAIN so its C) again)

So even being a sports fanatic is stupid. its even more stupid than being a console fanboy because a team will most likely completely change within just a few years.
