Good for you, but why can’t someone be a fan and not know any of the players names? Couldn’t someone just like watching a game in their home town and leave it at that?
“Good for you, but why can’t someone be a fan and not know any of the players names? Couldn’t someone just like watching a game in their home town and leave it at that?”
are you FREAKING serious? The answer in one word is: no.
In two words: HELL, no.
But not surprising for someone from Kenya who had anti-American parents who was brought up in Indonesia and had NO familiarity with real American life
Then you are someone who enjoys the game, you are not a "fan" of a particular team, especially not one who purchases/wears team gear. I like rock music, some bands I really enjoy, but I am not a "fan" of those, I can't name particular members, not so great on the song titles, really only know the lyrics if the song comes on, I'm singing along with it. Those bands I am a "fan" of, I know their names, instruments played, songs they wrote, etc.
There is a world of difference when you call yourself a "fan" -- as pointed out in earlier post, this was just more of the politician attempting to curry favor with the folks, Hillary sporting a ball cap which obviously wasn't hers, Kerry goofing a name, it's the phony lie and it's really not necessary.
