I don't mean people that like to watch sports here and there. I was talking about the true "Sportsfan" that watches probably 20+ hours a week of Sports on television, puts their favourite team logos all over their car and sits around at the bar with his buddies having in-depth debates about how their favourite team ("we") is doing or going to do.
Whenever I come across this social disaster situation I always laughingly call them "Sportsfan" as a proper noun. You know the type.

Curious. Do you feel the same way toward people who do this with TV shows? there are plenty of people out there who watch 20+ hours of TV per week and talk about their favorite shows with other people or spend time online looking up info about their favorite shows?
What about people who play video games 20+ hours per week.
Just curious if your feelings are aimed mostly at sports fans or if it goes wider than that.
BTW I agree with you about the people who talk about teams to no end. I am fan of sports and have teams I like and will sometimes discuss the team with other friends/fans, but I'm not one of those guys who follows every move of the team. And anytime I hear someone say "we" or "our" when referring to the team they like I always think of Seinfeld when he says he doesn't understand how people will go to a game and afterwards say, "We won." No, he tells them, they won, you watched.
