+177 It's stupid when people refer to their favourite sports team as "we". They aren't actually on the team, so should refer to it as "they", amirite?

It's psychology. Humans naturally want to feel accepted, therefore they associate themselves with a group.

When you know practically everything about the team, you start to feel like part of them. If I say 'they' instead of 'we', I feel like I'm talking about another team and not my team.

When you say "we" you refer to the team, city, organization and most importantly the fan base, which is a huge part of the team and its identity. So saying "we" is completely valid and acceptable.

Along with what is said above there are things called the sixth man in basketball, and so on with other sports. Because the crowd is considered a big part of the game.

When they say "we" they mean their city, not the team. They're included in that.
