Fans are an integral part of sports. They are the ones who decide the popularity of the sport. They simply are the support system that every team or player needs when they lock horns with their respective opponent on the field. Legendary footballer Johan Cryuff once said that, "The most important part are the fans, that people going home are happy. It's their time off, and you should give them something to enjoy."
Fans are the most important part to the team because they’re the reason why the players, staff, and coaches make money and also gain popularity worldwide. They boost player's confidence, and whoever their favorite team is, they really love the team and also every other person who support them.There is a difference between loyal fans and plastic or fake fans. Loyal fans like their team during good or bad seasons, during all the ups and downs, they not only support them in the big games, and always stay on top of how they’re doing by watching on T.V., listening on the radio, being at the game, checking the internet constantly, having messages being sent to their phones, etc. Some fans even travel to see their team play when they're away because they're passionate about the team more than being passionate about the sport. Plastic fans are terrible fans because they only like the team that’s good. If a team isn’t doing well, they walk away, they tend to criticise the players, they switch from their team to some other team. They don't have any respect for the players or the management. They always hunt for glory. They always dig for gold. Such fans are highly disrespectful to the more loyal and real fans.
When you turn people into fans, they are willing to go to great lengths to express their love for their team or any player. They give their everything to achieve nothing, yet they're the happiest among all.
