I always see bears fans refer to the bears as "we". "we should draft x player" or "we will win x game". Why is that? Why use "we" if you don't work for the bears organization?
It’s because meatballs think they are part of the team. It helps them try to process their attachment and emotions directed toward the Bears.

In Europe (and I would say South America), not referring to your football (soccer) team as 'we' is seen as suspicious and highly suspect behaviour by any fan of the team you support. Would comfortably refer to the Bears as 'we' in any conversation with another fan

I reckon I would also happily wear a player named jersey, though at my age sports tops are less than flattering, so tend not to go down that road more out of respect for others!!

One thing I do find odd though about a lot US sports fans is their ability to jump on the bandwagon of successful teams and not feel embarrassed about it. Lots of friends in the States, who made fun of me supporting the Cubs for thirty years, all bought Cubs gear in 2016 without a hint of embarrassment or shame

Fans are an integral part of the team, without them there would literally be no point in its existence. So we is fine, it comes out without really thinking about it because not only do fans feel as though they are part of the whole, but because it’s actually quite a big part of their lives. I find it a bit odd that some seem to think it wrong in some sense, like who really gives a fuck whether some fans say we anyway?

Sweetheart, why so much anger??

Never really understood why people get quite so hysterical on sports message boards.

Don't get me wrong, the irony of someone getting so worked up at fans using 'we' as if they are somehow over invested by subsequently resorting to personal abuse on a message board, to try (and fail) to make their point, is actually pretty amusing, but, you would have to admit, also just a wee bit sad for a grown man.

Anyway, for the record:

*Fat, sure, though I would say European fat, not US documentary level fat - basically UK soccer shirt XL, Bears shirt ... medium
** Closer to my 60's than 40s, so old, but at least I got to see Walter Payton play at Soldier Field!!
*** British, sure, but hopefully not for too much longer!!
****Living and dying with a boring soccer team - from cradle to fucking grave mate, from cradle to fucking grave!
*****literally fighting rival fans in the streets - at my age, that would probably cause an embolism
******Low IQ, sure, though again, I'm obviously going to have to use European standards here!! ?

Tinkity tonk old fruit, and down with the Nazi's!!

I served in the Army for 6 years, two of which was in Fort Leavenworth for marijuana, which is legal now in most places so I’ll say “we” if I want to when I refer to the Bears. Who the fuck are you?

This is WEak. How much WEed got you locked up Sam Hurd?
