Sports Fans vs. Movie Fans

We discussed in class yesterday whether or not a sports fan is the same as a fan that may follow a movie series or music group. I think that is not true at all. A sports team that is in a city can be that city's identity. Would I say fans of sports team go a little to far yes I do, but I feel that they are proud of their city and that's why they support that team. I look at it like a relationship, for example the Chicago Cubs seem to choke some how some way every year, yet they have the most loyal fans in baseball. Its something that makes them feel good at the end of the day whether the result is good or bad. For movies I think people that dress up like the characters take it to the next level. What is the point of dressing like Jack Spario from Pirates of the Carribean? There is no point no one will care at the end of the day whether or not you look like them.
