re: How does one become a fan?

Sometimes you just connect with something. That feeling of needing to know more or consume more of a subject (team, skill, hobby, etc.) is pretty exciting.
I tell my kids to always try new things, and try things more than once at various points in your life. Never know if those piano lessons that drove you nuts as a kid won't become a passion later on life if you don't revisit it.

Sorry you don't have any real interests or passions.
Sounds like a young girl wondering if she ever experienced an orgasm. Obviously, she hasn't, because she would definitely know if she did.
It's shocking to me that certain people lack these things in their lives. Whether it is music, literature, film, arts, skills, model trains, whatever. It must suck to lack things you are passionate about.
Of course, it was shocking for me to learn that half the people say they have no inner monologue. Half the people can't visual images in their mind. To me, those are things that I assumed made us human and differentiated is from animals. Maybe a significant portion of people truly are NPCs?

This is the damn truth…honestly, LSU fans have a tendency to do this.

Being from Alabama and no nfl team I for the dumbest reason as a kid in the late 80s became a fan of the Buffalo bills.
The reason: I thought the helmet with one bar across the kicker wore was old school cool.
The same kicker that lost them the Super Bowl against the giants. I bought their gear and stuff too.
Today I could care less about them lol .
Years later I found out my Dad was buddies with Jim Kelly and they worked and partied together out in Texas in the early 80s.
Also pocket knives because they are just my thing.

For real? How does your brain even begin to translate my post into whatever the hell it is you’re attempting to say?
Where did I say I didn’t have any interest? As if my handle isn’t a clue into any of that.
Everyone has their own story, their own path to what they have discovered that interest them.
All I’m asking for is their story. Not a “how do you do this“ thread.
Good grief.

The fact you were a fan says something about you.
70's Steelers = Working class
70's Cowboys = Affluent class
70's Steelers = Family ownership
70's Cowboys = Corporate ownership
70's Steelers = Defense (line play)
70's Cowboys = Offense (passing)
70's Steelers = old school NFL
70's Cowboys = new age NFL
70's Steelers = team play
70's Cowboys = individual play
70's Steelers = line play (whole team)
70's Cowboys = backfield play (QB)

tried for a long time to get into feet as a fetish because there is so much quality amateur content out there. It never really took off until recently. I'd say it's taken about 3 years of pretty regular work to get to a point where I'd feel comfortable talking with others of similar interest.

When I was 9 in 1972, my father took me to an LSU game in Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night. I have never been the same since.

Music speaks to my soul.
I have increased my interest in watching documentaries, if well done and often in areas I do not like (I.e Vince McMahon, Daddy’s era of pop rap).
Food also speaks to my soul.
I like playing many different sports so something like Pickleball is a natural addition along with less basketball since I’m getting old.

Lotta different ways to look at music. Like the connections between engineering and jazz.
I still don’t care for jazz though.

Who let this plebian on our esteemed board? This place is for learned doctors and weak men who had to move to Texas to find work.

My great-grandma watched the Braves, so I watched the Braves. My mom hated TV, and we only had 13 basic cable channels. In my small town, TBS was one of them, so I watched a lot of games.
Damn the horror LOL.
I get it, hardship is relative...a few years ago my oldest and best friend was telling his daughters that he and their mother were so poor when they met that they only had basic cable. They did not flinch....it did indeed seem harsh to them....until I started laughing and asked "How did y'all have cable??? I lived in the same apartment complex at the time and had rabbit ears"....

I’m a lifelong pro wrestling fan and can vividly recall how it all began.
I was 5 years old and big into comic books. One Saturday afternoon, my big brother called me away from reading the latest issue of Superman and into our living room. Mid-South Wrestling was on TV, and my brother sold it to me as a battle of good guys vs. bad guys, but in real life.
Not long after, we were at ringside at the Centroplex watching JYD fight Ted Dibiase, three feet in front of us. This was just like Superman and Lex Luther throwing down, to me. I was hooked and haven’t fully shaken it, yet.

Dawg fan because of Larry Munson and the idiot engineers at Georgia Tech who could not design a stadium without blocking site lines with columns.
Something of a braves fan although not as much as I once was....back in the day when the braves thought winning 40 games wasn't that bad a group of us from high school and college had season tickets (they were about $25) and spent many an afternoon and evening in Fulton County Stadium. My fandom waned when they moved into Turner Field and is almost gone now that they are not even in Atlanta.
Very tepid Hawks and Falcon fan. Been heart broke too many times. Still enjoy going to games though but not nearly as rabid as I once was. That is reserved for the Dawgs and admittedly that is waning as well.
Never been a fan of any musicians or famous people like writers and actors. Love music, will read anything I can lay my hands on and love TV and Movies...just do not see being enamored with a person just because they can sing or act.
