People might think you're a "fake" fan because you aren't local.
6.
You often watch alone.
7.
Your celebrations are quiet so as to not wake up anyone else.
But you still find ways to let your fan flag fly.
8.
You'll be singing chants that nobody understands.
9.
You wear jerseys nobody recognizes.

15.

16.
On the emotional, hard-fought victories...
