New rule! I know, another one.. Hear me out!
During my time online, and in the real world, I often hear people say "we" when it comes to sports. Example: "We lost today, because we were bad"..No.. "we" weren't bad - the team was bad. You cannot say "we" unless you are on the squad or a part of the team in some way. I'm not talking about being a member of a fan club - I'm talking about being a member of the ACTUAL team. Like a coach, or a share holder.
"But Philipsen, some clubs allows fans to have a participation in the club. Shouldn't they be allowed to say "we" about the team?", I hear you ask..
It depends on how much you participate in the team. If you are on the board of directors, then yes. If you give input on fan forums, then no..
It is just me that feels this way?

Your rule ignores the extremes, subtleties and complexity of group dynamic.
It's not healthy to be dictatorial about 'we', whether you're demanding it, or banning it.
The teams we support look at us as being a part of their team .
It will always be we it will never be them & us.
There are people who like cricket and have no remorse whatsoever.
You see the same thing when it comes to the flag. Who's flag is this British flag? Is it mine because I paid for it (liberal)? Or is it Britain's flag(conservative)?
