People who are from areas with teams yet root for other teams. Also "fans" of teams across sports in different cities, or multiple teams for one sport (including college, looking at you NC bball/ND football "fans"). Its fucking lame.

A Bandwagon fan is still a fan or fanatic. The type of fanatic they are isn't nearly as important as the fact that they are a fanatic.

I my opinion you can switch every year or every week if you want to. Having personal fanaticism is just that, personal.

It may be "lame" but most people don't become fanatical about a team for the excitement or lameness it might provides to others.

I'm from Ohio, lived in Ohio, etc.... and no I went to a much better school for both undergrad and grad school. Nice assumption fail.
