Individualism vs. Collectivism
This meme is getting deep, but it makes a fair point. When it comes to sports teams, a weird thing happens. Fans will switch between othering their favorite team and acting like they’re all in it together. It just depends on how well their team is doing. For example, when someone’s team loses, it’s always “they blew it.”
When a team wins and ends up on top, the word choice suddenly changes to “WE did it.” Funny how that happens, right? If you can’t support your team at their worst, you don’t deserve them at their best. No matter if you use “they” or “we,” you’re still the fan sitting on the sidelines. Might as well show your support no matter what!
