People who refer to their favorite sports team in the first person
So instead of “The Lakers didn’t play very well last night but they still won the game,” they’ll say “We didn’t play very well last night but we still won the game.”
We?! What position do you play?
I went to my first Chargers game ever and they lost against Atlanta in Nov. I wrote off the Chargers as a miserable team with a 4-8 record, better luck in 2009. When are we going to get an OC team again? (Grumble grumble).
However, they stunned everyone by winning X games in a row, beat the Colts in overtime on Saturday (to take them to the AFC divisionals next week!), and even though I’m in no condition to be their water boy I stood and cheered “WE won!”.
Generally I agree with you, but I just couldn’t help myself. I’m so proud of them! 8)
