A
derisive expression to describe people who act as "
sport fans" for a team that know nothing about
when, and only when, the "
home team" is doing extremely well (in the
playoffs and/or
championship).
A front runner cannot name more than 3 players on his "team," never attended a game more than 5 months before the current post-season and cannot tell you the last time the team actually won a championship.
"You mean they were this good before?"
Examples of cities with a large amount of these types of people (they are not fans):
Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Montreal, Minneapolis.
Compare this to fans in Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago where they turn out in lousy weather, no matter what the teams' record.
