fanboys
First of all it's meant to describe someone who is obsessed with nerd culture.
Second, it's a meaningless jamming together of two words. "Fan" is short for "fanatic". So if the connotation is that "fanboys" are zealous in following a particular person or (in this case) team... just call them "fans." Adding "boy" on the end doesn't make it derogatory. It just makes you sound like a jackass.
