A person likes a certain sports team. But the team gets beat badly in a big game, especially against a rival. The next day that fan purposely wears team apparel (hat, jersey, etc). Isn't doing that a bit sadomasochistic?

That is asking for it, since you're in SEC country.

But it's better than being a fairweather fan...

lyrics to "Fairweather Johnson," c. 1996:

I like the Steelers in '75
I only like the Broncos when they come alive
Like the Redskins in '83
And when the Dolphins are playin' well
Well, yeah well they're the team for me
'Cause I'm Fairweather Johnson
Yeah, yes I'm Fairweather Johnson
I like the Braves in '95

I wear my Phillies Jerseys whenever, doesn't matter if the team is winning or losing - it's my team. I don't respect people who wear the jerseys of champions right after victory.

This is very low on the list of reasons to criticize a fan.

this. while i dont wear sports stuff normally, i still support my teams regardless of their winning or losing. for instance, i have been a cowboys fan since 1972. i watched them win 5 super bowls and lose three. i watched them also have back to back 1-15 seasons, as well as not have a winning season now since what 2009? yet i still support them, and always will.
