Quote:Which they can do. It is okay to not be a diehard fan. I don't get the mentality that gets offended. Why would anyone here care what some random person they have never met think of them as a fan anyhow? Diehard fans don't sit on the couch and watch their team in comfortable conditions. The words do have some meaning. You can't just change what the word means because people get offended.


I remember a while back I made some post about Superfans and forgot the term for average fan or whatever. I simply made the post just to see how riled up everyone would get at the terms. People were upset, offended, arguing and it served the point well. Don't worry about what someone else thinks about you. If you're a fan then you don't need someone else to tell you you are. And if you are defending yourself to that extreme then you are basically arguing for the person you are arguing against.

 

That was kind of my point.  The guy was basically calling him out for giving up his season tickets and saying that because he wasn't a season ticket holder he wasn't a die hard fan (whatever your definition of that is).  I used to be of that mind set, but I've come off of it recently.  There are people that have families, kids, health issues, economic issues, transportation issues, or any of the other 1000 issues that can factor into going into a game on Sunday....who is anyone to judge what kind of fan they are of the Jags?

 

There are people here on this message board that I know are more die hard Jaguar fans than many season ticket holders that don't go for whatever reason....I've sat in opposing stadiums, I've sat in stadiums when there snow flurries, I've sat when I thought everyone around me was going to pass out from heat, I sat at the Panther game when the stadium started flooding and I never once left my seat.  Who cares?  It's fun.
