So the Cavs come to town and there are 500 Lebron jerseys and screaming Cavs fans in attendance. I guarantee there won't be any Cavs fans in Chicago next year. Saw the same shit when Shaq went to the Heat and magically all these Heat fans started showing up at the United Center when they played them.
Obnoxious fans are one thing, but I can't stand the guy who switches teams every couple years because a player he likes joins it.

And those are the most visible and noticeable fans contributing to a fanbase's reputation, even though they're only in the fanbase temporarily.
It's not a coincidence that "obnoxious" fanbases tend to come from more successful franchises.
