If you’ve ever been to a football game or if you’re a pretty big fan, you know that there are so many different types of fans. There are people who never shut up, the people who only come to socialize, and then there are some people who think they know everything. All different kinds of people show up to a game, big fans and people who don’t even care who’s playing. With football season right around the corner, there's one very important question to ask. Which kind of fan are you?
1. The Screamer
You’re probably everyone’s biggest enemy. You yell at literally everything, from bad calls, a rough hit, a touchdown, a fumble, the coach making a call you don’t like. Something happens and you’re screaming at the top of your lungs.
2. The Know-It-All
Right along with The Screamer, most people at the game probably hate you. You think you know more than the referee, the coaches, and the players and it’s very likely you don’t. You criticize every play, every call, and every single move the players make. Even when you’re proved wrong, you’ll make up an excuse why you aren’t.
3. The Superstitious One
Do you wear the same shirt four Saturday’s in a row because your team has won every game since you wore it? This is the kind of fan you are! You probably listen to the same song every time you’re on the way to the game, or wear the same pair of socks because they’re undefeated. The second your team loses while you’re wearing them though, they’ll never see the light of day again.
4. The "Five Minutes of Fame" Fan
You paint your chest and show up half naked in the middle of November when it’s under 30 degrees so you might get on television. You make a ridiculous sign and show up to College Gameday. Whatever you have to do to make it on TV, you’re going to do it.
5. The Socialite
You couldn’t care less about football, who’s playing, the score, or really anything about the game. You’re there to be with friends, to drink, to talk, and just have fun. When there’s a touchdown, you might scream along with everyone else but there’s probably a big chance you don’t know why everyone’s freaking out.
6. The Die Hard
You go to every single game. You know all the stats about the players, history about the team that would shock even the coach, and love your team with everything in your heart. You take loses really hard and feel like crying of happiness when your team wins a big game. Even when your team isn’t doing their best, you stand behind them. You bleed your school’s colors and the fight song is your anthem.
7. All of the Above
Or maybe, you’re a little bit of all of these. Maybe you have a lucky shirt. Maybe you like going to every single game, but being able to see your closest friends while you’re there is just a big plus. Maybe you dress crazy to get on TV from time to time. Maybe you know everything there is to know about your favorite team.
No matter what kind of football fan you are, get out there and cheer for your favorite team this Fall!
