What do you get for being on the Heat bandwagon?

There is no glory because they haven't won anything yet, and it's not popular. It just gets you spit and hissed at by all the haters on the hate wagon.

That being the case, how can you even call it a bandwagon?

I think it takes a hell of a lot more courage and individualism to be a Heat fan, especially a new Heat fan, despite the negativity you receive for it, than it does to be for instance a Laker fan, especially one of the 75% of them who don't even live near LA.

    Never been much into switching teams, but I can never understand why there is such a big deal made about being on the bandwagon for one team or another. It tends to remind me of arguments I see kids have, 'I liked 'em first'

    "It just gets you spit and hissed at by all the haters on the hate wagon. "

    please dont try to make them out to be some victims or something. people hate bandwagoners cause they are disloyal & pose as real fans & talk sh*t like they have been with the team through good & bad. they are only loyal to a team for as long as their good enough to be contenders.

    "There is no glory because they haven't won anything yet"

    true but obviously they think they will otherwise its a safe bet to say they would be fans of some other team.

    real fans dont like bandwagoners.

    you're acting like it's ok to be a bandwagoner if the team hasn't won a championship yet. that isn't the case, the Heat probaly have the most expectations this season and have 3 of the best players in the world on their team. that alone is what has caused many idiots to jump on the bandwagon. for some reason people like to generalize and call EVERY heat fan a bandwagon fan, how stupid.

    Thank you Patrick. Once again there goes some one generalizing all Heat Fans as being on the wagon.Obviously it isnt apparent that there are some true fans who have been with the Heat through thick and thin.Even before Bosh and James got there. I

    I stress this a lot. I like every player in the NBA (not a band wagoner) and respect them every way but the fans are ridiculous. They spew hate and start word wars with each other. It's ridiculous.

    Heat bandwagoners suck.

    "Heat are now unarguably the best team in the NBA?" After they passed the Celtics, then now the Celtics are #1 again and you don't see any of the Heat b!tches again. It's fine because they'll get their asses handed to them by the Celtics in April, I'll see them in the ECF if they can beat Orlando
