Job of a Fan

In any sport, there are fans, and they are probably very passionate about their favorite sport. However, that passion might take you a little bit overboard. The right of a fan is this, root for your favorite team(s), and that is it. There is nothing else a fan needs. If your favorite player is gone from your team, would you switch teams? In my opinion, no I wouldn't. I will say this though, fans sometimes do help management make decisions because that is what they want. If your team loses a game should you be mad, yes you should, but throwing stuff and yelling at other people won't help anything. If a fan goes to road games, he has the right to root for his team, but should watch what he/she says because you might start a fight or almost start one. A perfect example of this was when I went to the 2012 NHL Winter Classic in Philadelphia. The Rangers won the game and the Flyers fans were upset, but for a certain Rangers fan, the win wasn't enough. As I made my way down the ramp at Citizens Bank Park, a Rangers fan was yelling profanity and saying mean things about the Flyers and their fans. Then, someone snapped and the fan got sucker punched and a brawl started. The two were broken up and was taken into custody. That wasn't the only incident that day. Another example of a fan going overboard actually happened that same day. A group of Rangers fans went to grab a bite to eat after the game at one of Philadelphia's most famous restaurants, Tony Lukes. The fans were supporting the Ranger's win, but wasn't doing anything crazy. An argument then started with a Flyers fan and fight broke out. The Flyers fan beat the living hell out of the Rangers fan and was later charged with assault. The rangers fan then sued the Flyers fan and got millions of dollars. Like I said, you have the right to cheer for your team on an opposing team's arena, but if you are going to be an ass, then you are asking for it. I'm not saying that these fans are bad, I'm just saying what fans can and can't do.
