Germany Home Soccer

I'm not saying that one is better than the other, just that there is an important difference.

What is the difference between the two?

Well, it's in the words. A fan likes something, a supporter actively supports it. A regular fan wouldn't drive 5 hours to support the FC Bayern Amateure in the cold March rain.

What do Supporters do differently?

Passion. Dedication. Loyalty.

Take a club like Bayern Munich for example. We have by far the most fans in Germany, but only a small group of true Supporters. The fans buy lots of merchandise and visit the home matches, and usually refer to the team, not the club. The fan idolizes players, but often knows little about the club's history. When a club doesn't do well, more and more seats will be empty, whereas the section of the Supporters is as full as ever.

The Mindest

A Supporter loves the club, not the team and its players. Those are mercenaries who do not identify with the club and will transfer as soon as more money is offered.

To a Supporter, it's all about the club, not the team.

A fan sees this as a hobby or casual entertainment. But Supporters take it seriously. No matter where or when the club plays, or how important the match is, the Supporter is there. A lot of times this means sacrificing other aspects of his life - work, school, family, friends. That's because words like loyalty and honor still have meaning. A Supporter will defend the club's name if necessary, without getting it into trouble.
To the Supporter the club is a lifestyle.

The Supporter supports the team throughout the entire match, regardless of the score or the performance. Because the team needs the support the most when things are not going well. That is not to say that displeasure can't be voiced. But the support of the team always comes first.

Simply singing or shouting is not enough. Every word uttered and every song sung has to be filled with all of the Supporter's energy and passion. Even if the players on the field don't care, it is done for the club's honor and for all of the Supporter's honor.

Sing until your lungs burn and you are ready to puke.

Supporters looks at everything the club does objectively and is not afraid to be critical. It is up them to protect the club's values and integrity and to carry them on with their actions.

Should a decision of the club clashes with the Supporter's believes, but benefits the club in the long run, the Supporter has to put his own interest aside.

Everything the Supporter does has to be in the club's best interest.

All of these traits are vital. I have known people who went to every FC Bayern match, but didn't support. There were those who sang passionately, but only cherry-picked a few matches a year. Not to mention the ones that were too drunk to even make it into the stadium, or those who only want to fight.

Unfortunately there seems to be a war going on against the Supporters/Ultras across Germany. The clubs want to replace us with customers who will shell out money without asking questions or criticizing. The clubs' identities are slowly taken away. But this is for another article.

Have You Ever SHARTED in Public?

How did you handle the situation?

I'll go first. I was on a train with my Soccer Team and we were all drinking. I let one fly but it was a wet one (I was 17). I ran to the Bathroom and tried to wash my Boxers out but they were stained beyond anything I could do. We were traveling through Germany at the time so I used a marker and wrote my name and address on them and as we passed through a town I threw them out the window,
I got back home three weeks later and there was a package waiting for me. It was my Boxers and they were perfectly clean! I was LMFAO and so were my parents when I told them the story. As I had the sender's return address I actually wrote her a Thank You Note!
LOL! Germans are cool with me!

How about you?
Sharted: Accidentally pooping your pants.
Sorry Digipics. Just because I'm into Politics does not mean I don't have a sense of humor.
I laugh at Obama all the time!

I was at a fat farm with a couple of friends and my system just rebelled against the boiled celery and carrots all the time so I didn;t go for ten days; the nurse made me drink an entire glass of Milk of Magnesia and I waited in our room in case anything happened. After a few hours I got bored so I put on my bathing suit and went to the pool for some water volleyball. I went in for a net shot and the whole back of my bathing suit filled up with poop. I had to shake it out and run to the poolside toilets and I had just sat down when there was this deadly silence. Then murmuring then screams OMG it's SH*T! and people running out of the pool. it sounded like a scene from Jaws with everyone panicking and trying to get away. I stayed in the toilet for hours and by the time I came out it was dark and I spent the entire night on the toilet and in the morning I had lost ten pounds. They had to drain the pool and clean it out but no one knew it was me except my friends who thought it was hilarious.
EDIT: Ignore "digipics" he has no sense of humor and takes himself waaayy too seriously, he needs to lighten up.
