Should Fans
be so Attached to Their Teams? Blog #3 (SSTR)
First of all I believe that there is such a point as to when
fans are too attached. Like if there is rioting or any physical harm. But if an
actor denies a movie deal for wearing a hat, just leave him alone that is his
own choice. I personally wouldn’t wear any of my rival team’s hats!
About denying the movie deal, Ben Affleck turned down a movie
deal because the director wanted him to wear a Yankees hat, but he refused
because he is a Red Sox fan. Here is the link for the article: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/red-sox-fan-ben-affleck-refused-wear-yankees-hat-girl-article-1.1961699. Affleck said “…I will not wear a
Yankees hat.’’ But the funny thing is that he and the director compromised; now
Affleck has to wear a NY Mets hat. If I was him I wouldn’t wear a Mets hat
either to be honest.
I am a fan of Lakers, Angels, and
Packers fan I would not wear any of their rivals hats at all. I think most fans
are harmless but then you get though dumb fans who like to be too crazy and get
themselves in trouble. Me I am a fan who lives with their loses or bad events
that happen to my teams and do a little smack talk along the way ( just as most
sport fans would do anyway). Now
being a ban wagon is totally different, it is pretty much saying that you only
like the team because they win and that is not being a fan!
These are fans being normal.
In conclusion I think
that Ben Affleck’s compromise was not really helpful to the fan aspect of it
but oh well. Also don’t be afraid to go to a concert or sport event because
overly crazy fans get sent out of the stadium.
