Well you clearly know nothing about football - you can talk about it all you want, obviously, but your thoughts are just as obviously pretty irrelevant, so why bother?

So why bother talking to me about the subject if my thoughts on it are so irrelevant? It's your time to waste, I'm just curious as to why you would.
And I may not be into soccer*, but I know a thing or two about fandoms, followings and basic human behaviours. Like snobbery, which the OP was complaining about.

*Yes, soccer.

And sports fans do not come into the category of fandom. Which is what the OP was really complaining about, and is where she/he's going wrong.

And yeah, I totally believe you know about snobbery. Football v soccer - you're really that petty? Yep, you are.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. If anything, sports are the original fandom.

Nope, not petty. I just like calling football soccer because I know it bothers people who get uppity about it :D

Sports clearly aren't the original fandom - that's the dumbest thing I've heard this week.

So you are just trolling. Then why the big upset reaction when someone calls you on it?

Really? You're not a fandom, really? You follow a group because you're emotionally invested in their actions, their victories and losses. You watch them on the TV, you see them in person with thousands of others. You get their autographs, you buy the crappy merchandise, you talk about what you love and hate about it with your friends and you're NOT a fandom? I'd like to hear why, only you don't have much of a point to sell.

Please, try not to confuse a sagacious remark for an upset reaction. Not trolling, just talking. And asking questions that seem to annoy you by calling for thought on your part.

I didn't say there wasn't a sports fandom. I said sports fandom wasn't the original fandom, which is what you alleged.

We obviously have very different ideas of fandom anyway. I'm a fan of a sports team, I go and watch them, I care about their successes, I talk to other people about them. What I don't do is write fic about them, make pic spams, stalk them, message the manager, etc. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but that's fandom - standing on the terrace every other week is being a fan.

Being a fan, and being in fandom are very different things. Some, although very, very few football fans do both. Complaining about the fact that the rest of the football community isn't supporting your slash is at best, unrealistic. At worst it's fuelling the crap some female supporters already get. Enjoy the game, keep your fucking fantasies online. How is that difficult?

So, you're a fan, but you're not in a fandom :)
Sounds to me that that the only reason sports aren't are fandom is because you just don't like the associations that the word "fandom" conjures up in your head. Which is really not an objective definition at all. By the way, a lot of people in fandoms aren't stalkers and spammers, and resent your stereotyping.

I agree and disagree with both of you.

1- Football *is* a fandom.
2- Who cares if she doesn't know anything about football? This kind of behaviour is in any fandom out there. Old fans vs. new fans, slash fangirls vs. het fangirls, fans of classic versions vs. fans of remakes... the list goes on and on. You don't need to know so much about sports to understand what OP is talking about.
3- IT'S FOOTBALL, NOT SOCCER.

DA

You don't need to know so much about sports to understand what OP is talking about.
True, but sports fandoms are still a bit different from other fandoms. The non-slashing majority of sports fans are still a big homophobic, anti-slash bunch that has trouble accepting any fans, especially female fans, who behave differently from the "traditional" fans.

I get what you mean. Not for nothing so many players have problems to come out... but listen, not everyone who is against the slash fangirls in football fandom do it because of homophobia. Some believe that they ~don't understand football~, that is, they don't know what supporting a team to death really means, etc, and just cheer for the hottest guy on the field, or any team where their OTP happens to play for. And that's just a couple of examples.

I'm quite like the OP - I've loved football since I was very little, but I am into slashing the players and all that, too. While I can understand where the rage at slash fangirls comes from, I wouldn't attack any of them. They are into this for the hotness, others for the game/team they have supported since they were in the craddle. Everything would be better if people just let others have fun in the way they want.

2- Dazz is a he

ah ok, sorry about that! x_x

That's okay, I thought you were referring to OP.
...That's also the third time this week.
