long distance bandwagon fan


a long distance bandwagon fan is a specific variety of bandwagon fan. typical bandwagon fans are local, they ignore the particular sport altogether when their local team is doing poorly, and suddenly become superfans when they’re doing well. meanwhile, long distance bandwagon fans will become superfans of any team in the country when they’re doing well, and then just as quickly pick a different team when the tables are turned.

they are often spotted wearing team merchandise which is later donated to a thrift store. just like the regular bandwagon fans, they will swear that they’ve always liked their current team du jure, and vehemently deny ever being a fan of any other team.
some prime examples of teams with great numbers of long distance bandwagon fans are: san francisco 49ers in the 80s, edmonton oilers in the 80s, dallas cowboys in the 90s, chicago bulls in the 90s, atlanta braves in the 90s and early 2000s, new york yankees in the late 90s and 2000s, and indianapolis colts in the 2000s.

ldbf: i love the yankees! those are my boys and always have been! i’m soooooo lucky that my favorite team is so good!!!
realist: yeah, ok. luck has nothing to do with it. you live in kansas, you’ve never travelled anywhere near new york, and somehow i doubt you can name the starting lineup. you’re the epitome of a long distance bandwagon fan.
ldbf: whatever, you’re just jealous because my team rulez!!!
realist: right, because it would be so difficult for me to buy a yankees hat and start calling myself a fan.
