Please tell me you guys don't say "we" in sports like
"we won"
"We didn't try hard enough"
>>67745408
I do.
Philosophically, I am part of the team vision.
Find me another monosyllabic word that implies you're talking about the team you support and I'll use that. Until then, I'm sticking with "we."
>>67745521
They
>>67745521
They or the fucking name of the team. You sound fucking stupid saying we

Please tell me this bothers you. Because i'll start doing it now.
>>67745521
>saying we means its monosyllabic
No it doesn't
I say we for my college teams because I went there so suck my big hairy nuts
I say it because I'm employed by the club
>>67745408
I do for my home team. Considering I'm from a city that pays for my stadium (taxes/american football) I don't feel gay about it.
And also its sports, which is entertainment and meant for fun, I don't hold it against myself or anyone who does. And if it bothers you, you're the real faggot.
They perform for us so that we can be winners :^)
>>67746491
Nah you're the faggot emulating being a part of the team. You do nothing for the team. Unless you are affiliated with the team, you saying "we" makes you sound those autistic faggots trying to be a part of the team
Yeah, prolly saying our team, team, our guys sounds better
>>67745408
its acceptable for your national team i.e.
>we are going to do shit in the euros so I might not even bother watching
>>67746589
No. You're either young or retarded to the point that sports wouldn't even exist, especially on a professional level, if it weren't for the fans.
>>67745561
>>67745747
'They' implies a feeling of otherness, like a team different than the team you're rooting for and is less specific than saying 'we'. When you say 'they' you could be talking about any team, but when you say 'we' it's clear who you're talking about once you've said who your team is. And saying your team's name all the time instead of using a pronoun would just sound weird and autistic
I agree that saying 'we' is kind of gay, but it's more convenient
>>67745747
This doesn't imply you're a fan of the team so not really.

So is film, music, and video games, ect but you don't see idiots say
"We made a great film guys!"
>it's an autistic Americans can't understand collectivism and sport episode
>>67746673
>muh fans are the reason they still exist
No they aren't. They would still make money and shit regardless. Fans have nothing to do with teams
>>67746589
>you do nothing for the team
Except literally pay money to keep the team alive. Without fans like us it wouldn't exist, period. You say "we" when referring to your country's government even though you aren't directly involved because you pay for them and they represent you.
>>67746589
>you do nothing for the team
Yeah, all these teams would have massive stadiums and still be financially viable even if there were no fans. Ask the owners if the fans do nothing for the team.
>>67746721
This
It's the definition of autism to take things literally and not use the convenient term 'we'. Yes WE get it, we didn't actually play the game, no shit
>>67746808
>sports teams would still make money even if no one watched the games or bought merchandise
wew
>>67746721
>its an autistic eruotrash trying to fill the void in his empty life by self inserting himself in the team
>>67746716
Your argument is flawless
>>67746829
They still have sponsor and shit that pay them. Fans don't pay them
https://youtu.be/LFicqJFz5R4
I just have one question
Why does it matter?
>>67746918
they have sponsers because fans are their advertising demographics.
>>67746873
Its just as retarded saying
"We won the game"
No you didn't faggot.
>>67746918
You're fucking retarded dude. Why do you think businesses sponsor sports teams? It's because they want to advertise to fans. If there were no fans in sports there would be no real revenue for anyone involved.
It would just be like amateur leagues are now.
I think it's okay if it's your school's team or an international competition like world cup or olympics
>>67746918
Are you literally retarded? Who do you think the sponsors are advertising to, the seats?
>>67746918
County taxes pay percentages of stadium maintanance, building fees, law enforcement at games, ect.
Look up the situation that's going on with the Raiders right now.
>we
Obviously a collectivist conspiracy
>all these idiots trying to validate their stupid reasoning for saying "we"
You all sound like reddit trash

That's not true though. This faggot is just mad that Chad Thundercock used to beat him up in gym class and he couldn't play sports
>>67747134
Not even the same dude, but you guys sound stupid if you actually and unironically try to say we when referring to your team. Unless its a school team you went to, saying we is fucking autistic
>>67747118
>>67746953
>anyways, back to doing what I do best
>pissing people off with angry humor that people take way too seriously
You're actually hurting your argument by posting some autistic dramawhore agreeing with you
>>67747118
No.
>>67747198
>taking sports serious at all
Wew lad your life must be pathetic to take a game seriously
>>67747198
>taking sports serious
>>67747118
Yeah, the guy admits that the fans do contribute in exactly the way described then goes on to make a baseless claim about the players, all of them, not caring about what the fans think, which is horseshit.
Then he goes on to create a fallacy where he compares a product (sports) that is based on cultivating fan identity with products that don't before admitting that that is exactly what the teams want, undermining his own fucking argument.
Stopped watching there because more than half way through and he's admitted every point and his only argument against any of it is, "but that's dumb!"
I just say "they" or just the team name. Saying "we" is just weird to me.
>>67747223
People say "we" to refer to what their cities, states, countries, etc. governments do even though they had no direct part in it because they consider themselves part of the area. Sports teams have very close association to cities and local groups.
>you sound fucking retarded
Maybe to an autistic poster on 4chan or YouTube. To any well-adjusted individual in real life saying "we" is perfectly acceptable.
>>67747223
Of course it's an ironic use of the term. People don't say "we" and literally think they are on the payroll.
>>67747223
No, what sounds autistic is nit picking like this and only using words literally. That's actual autism
Everyone here is autistic. All of you. Fuck off to reddit
>>67747359

No you sound autistic

?wat is red it
>>67747662
Good one
saying "we" only triggers the autists on this site. If you talk sports with anybody in real life they will say "we" and not think twice about it.
Yes goy, say we. Buy all the merchant, buy all these tickets, watch all these ads. You are apart of the team after all.
>>67747757
I have normies and only one says we. Everyone I know say the team name.

Have you even seen Rocky IV?
>>67747809
People say "we" when talking to fans of different teams. When talking to fans of the same team it's not really necessary.
>team wins: great game, great result, we deserved it
>team loses: FOOKIN KUNTS, THEY BOTTLD' IT AGAIN

>>67747905
What does that have do with "we"?
>>67747949
Yeah that is usually what I noticed too but they're are some people I see that will say it to other fans
>>67748000
Holy fuck this
>players
>coaches
>owners
These are the ONLY people who should be using the term "we" this context.
>>67749399

I say >we when I'm referring to my university's sporting teams, because they represent my institution, and by transitive, >me.

give it up
lots of autism ITT
>2016
>caring how people say they are a fan
>>67745408
I do. I spend money on my team, I am part of the community that my team represents and I am emotionally invested in my team. so yeah, >WE is appropriate in my case.
>>67745408
it's just easier to say a two letter word than every time say >"the team that I'm a fan of,"
just fuck off autists
