Turns out these people identify with the teams and feel a victory as if it was their own. The “We won!” crowd. Some other folks have a stronger separation between self and other and don’t have any emotional attachment with some sports team that did something.

to be fair, they make financial contributions to the club via merch, ticket sales, etc, which in turn impacts the success a team can achieve by spending that money
I once talked with my date about football and she said, well, when there is a really big game, she likes to watch, otherwise not really. And i asked why, it’s the same game. And she said, she doesn’t really know, she just likes to cheer for a team and hopes that they win. Which i found interesting. It’s like gambling, but boring and stretched out. When i was younger and people asked me what my team was, i always asked which team is the best, or winning, and that was my answer. Then you get so much shit for being a bandwagon fan. Like dude, you are cheering for a team that has been losing for 10 years like your life depends on it, get a grip.
