Wearing another man's name on your back is the single weirdest thing in sports fandom.
By @vinceok · Sports
It's different for kids, but grown adults paying $150 to wear another man's jersey is just strange. You're not on the team, my guy.
The full story
I just don't get it. You're literally paying a fortune to be a walking billboard for another grown adult, who is probably 10 years younger than you. Just get a normal team-branded hat or shirt. It's different for little kids, but once you're paying your own taxes, it's time to retire the jersey. You're a fan of the team, not a specific millionaire player's groupie. Am I the only one who thinks this is bizarre behavior?

@miarosee — My dad is 58 and still wears the jersey of a 22-year-old rookie. my mom roasts him for it constantly.
@willakk — bruh
@anywayyy — You're soft.
@niayy — I've been saying this for years! A nice team polo or hoodie looks so much classier.
@maeee — It's a form of hero worship that some people are just never taught to outgrow.
