At the stage in life that I am just a fan.

I am actually quite surprised that we do not have more fanatics on this board. The energy spent by the members here is just amazing. Who dat!

I seriously do not understand the difference. I have always been a fan and am fanatical about it I suppose. I have read some say they are only fans because they don't get destroyed over a loss. I get disappointed over a loss, but no where near as upset as most around here that claim to be "just fans". When we lose I mostly just move to the next game after a brief respite.

And that brings me to wondering what would be a negative interpretation of being a "fan" versus being a "fanatic?

Fanatics live and breathe Saints football. I'm definitely a fanatic who doesn't hold it against people who are just fans....well mostly. :wink:

Absolute Fanatic 38 years.
Season Ticket Holder / Tailgate organizer.
Watched 1/2 a game last year that was on at my cousin's house.
Don't know what their record was last year or how far they got in playoffs.
(I think they lost to Tampa. Dont know the round.)
Same reasons as cited by others above.

I am still a fanatic and usually go to training camp but I just feel deflated without Drew and don't want to watch a QB contest with two players that I don't believe in. I'm still a fanatic who will be scouring the internet for news from camp though. Who Dat!

I actually believe in Winston now. In Payton's offense I can easily see him becoming an all round elite QB.

I’ll mention the elephant in the room and say I became less a fanatic of the league when they started taking political stances. My fandom decreases the more they do so.

Politics doesn't affect my fandom at all one way or another. It means nothing to me compared to the enjoyment I get out of my Saints. Zero. Zip.

Glad you feel that way.
