To be fair we would sign a bag of chips to a 10m contract if it could make one batter have minor indigestion.

Baseball fans, more than any other sport, like to use "we" when referring to the team.
I don't get it, it makes me roll my eyes.

Any American sport* Anyone ever I’ve heard talk about their football club always talks like they’ve been the gaffer for a year

i think the complete opposite, American sports fans are barely fans at all, everyone seems to have second and third favourite teams. In Europe its the complete opposite, especially football (soccer). Fans in Turkey and Serbia and Romania are fucking mental for their teams. Theres a heavy lack of tribalism and tradition in American sports

You have it wrong. There are fans in America that live and die for their teams. There are homes covered in team art, jerseys, and memorable. Cars covered in flags, bumper stickers, and even wraps on their vehicles.
The northeast is particularly involved. You'll see kids on their first day of kindergarten with t-shirts and backpacks for their teams. Bars strictly for local sports teams, and if you go to Boston you'll see team logo tattoos on every other tatted person.
We have a multitude of sports here so everyone can't love everything, but to say we don't have die hard fans is absolutely ridiculous.
Also to say we don't have traditions still alive in these communities from the birth of their teams is absurd.

I think we have more people that are a fan of the sport itself than a team in particular.
