Get over it.

It's pretty common.  If you look at the actual Michael Jordan fans who were with him before he won his first title (the fan base was pretty much Chicago fans and some UNC fans).  Everyone else that became fans after the first title was pretty much a bandwagon fan but that represents about 95% of Jordan/Chicago Bulls fans.

Basically that's what happens when a team or player becomes great.

Lol I don’t care I was just giving the guy [BLEEP] who felt it was necessary to explain bandwagon fans like i would have some sort of revelation about something that is painfully obvious.

I don’t mind the bandwagon fans. I may not agree with most of what Race says(actually closers I any) but I respect that he embraces the fact that he has no investment in the team other than a player. 

I may find it weird the lengths he goes to to defend his man crush, but as someone who was born and raised in Jacksonville, I’ve seen Tebow fans first hand for a while now and it does not surprise me. And as nole fan who had to listen to them my whole stint at UNF 2009-2013 I am at the other end of spectrum. 

To each their  own.
