I would highly debate the majority of fans being drunken idiots. Unfortunate that's your perception of a team's supporters, it's an unfair stereotype. Having a sense of belonging to something that one enjoys following is pretty natural, especially a sports team that represents the city, state or country that fan is from. The term we is used pretty euphemistically, it's pretty silly to take issue with and takes for granted the people who go out of their way to show support. Fans and players are clearly different, nobody is saying otherwise.
