Well I guess it depends on how loosely you define "fan".
When I was younger, I used to love sitting in the bleachers watching Ryne Sandberg. I think it was more the atmosphere than the game I loved. Now I can't just cheer for them in hopes that ONE DAY, they will win the World Series more for the benefit of my boys than for me. I just realized my school teams have been names after inanimate objects, I wonder if that has deterred my enthusiasm.
High School - Steinmetz Streaks
Undergrad - UIC Flames
Graduate - Dominican Stars
So now I just cheer whatever team, my boys are playing on or cheering for, even if it is just a game of bags in the backyard. I am not the insane soccer mom, but I do get a bit excited and even cheer for the other team, because I feel sorry for them when they are losing. I can not tell you how many little league, soccer, basketball, volleyball, football games and tennis and wrestling matches I have cheered through! Both of my boys have had some outstanding coaches that have really helped build up their confidence, skill self esteem and sportsmanship.
Go Mustangs!
I still wish they were this small!
