I was ready to launch into a several hundred word rant about bandwagon fans, specifically supporters of the Cleveland Cavaliers when I stumbled on this. It is the first entry for “bandwagon fan” on Urban Dictionary.
Anyone who claims they are a “fan” of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don’t own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.
Everyone in Cleveland became a bandwagon fan only after LeBron James got drafted and they made the playoffs.
And then the second entry.
Anyone who became a Miami Heat fan in 2010-2011
#1: Lets go heat!
#2: Name three players from the Heat.
#1: Lebron, Dwyane, Bosh.
#2: Definitely a bandwagon fan.
So that pretty much sums it up. This guy at the Blazers game is a walking definition of bandwagon fan. Good on Portland for calling him out. I’m not even mad they screwed up the years.
