Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Referencing sports teams as "we." Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Why is that weird? We fans pay to watch and to be a part of the organization/club, why shouldn't we call it we? Players and coaches comes and goes (and get payed), we fans use our own money to support and watch the team + we stay forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players and coaches comes and goes (and get payed), we fans use our own money to support and watch the team + we stay forever.Because you're not ON the team. "We need to shoot more." Well, you can't. So there's not a "we". It's a "they". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the same goes for coaches and GMs? Quinn: "We need to shoot the puck more and go to the dirty areas" Hayes: "Ehm, sorry coach. You can't do anything. Please refer to the team as "you"".

Also, they are fickle and come and go just like players do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do anything. Please refer to the team as "you"". The coach is directly responsible for the effects on the ice, so no. Ditto the GM, who brings in players for the coach to use. They both have viable imprints. Fans don't. At all. They're purely spectators.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yea, those are exactly alike. It's this type of thinking that just doesn't even warrant a reply. Well, I replied to your argument. I can't say "we need to shoot more" because Im not on the ice and cant shoot, so if that's your only argument, the same goes for coaches. The coach is directly responsible for the effects on the ice, so no. Ditto the GM, who brings in players for the coach to use. They both have viable imprints. Fans don't. At all. They're purely spectators. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Ofcourse fans have. Do you think there would be a NYR if 0 people watched the game and not a single person in the arena? We(the fans) pay for everything. No us, no NYR, no hockey. We're all a part of this, so I don't see a problem with saying "we" when talking about something I've invested a helluva lot money and time in.

Phil Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I understand why fans want to say we. They feel a part of it. But they're the least connected, and least relevant to what happens on the ice. From a pragmatic perspective, it's a reach to suggest that we, not they, is the proper verbiage. For exactly that reason. They have no literal affect. Only a domimo, like protesters hoping to exact change by booing or not buying tickets, etc. Again, I understand why fans say it. I just don't agree they should. Or should I say we? ;) Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 We'll just have to agree to disagree. In Norway (especially when it comes to soccer(FOOTBALL)) everyone says "we" when talking about their favourite team, so I guess you just say what you're used to. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/b6/d8/c6b6d8b6be7f4a93c43cdf9e61f162ef.jpg (dont know how to post pictures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yeah, again, it's why it's a pet peeve for me. I read the terms literally, so when I see "we," the first thought in my head is "really? Because you're on the team?" Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I get what you're saying. It's always funny with those who say "we" when its something positive and "they" when something negative. "Hell Yeah, we won 5-0" then the next game "Fuck this team, they suck".

Thats why there is home field/ice advantage in sports. Fans can pump up a team and can give them confidence or crucify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
