Well in the world of sports there are monsters that take the word fan to another level! Sports is America's past time and it doesn't matter whether you like football, basketball, baseball, hockey or golf. Pick your poison playboy and it's all good with me. We spend countless hours watching our favorite sport or sports during the course of our lives and it's all good. I'm a huge college football fan and have followed the Oklahoma Sooners since I was probably 6 years old and for the past 14 years I’ve been a season ticket holder.
I'm quite sure that you have a favorite team or player as well. It's a lot of fun keeping up with them and scheduling your week around their games etc. What I want to look at today is, when does being a fan go too far and tip over into the terror dome of being a groupie.
There are so many people that become groupies and don't realize it. Well...maybe they do and just don't care playa. Let's look at what they both are and you can determine which category you fall into.
Fan is short for fanatic! Now being a fan of a team or a particular player is completely permissible. You're simply taking an interest in a team or player because you like the way they play the game or you admire what they've gone through to get to this point in there careers etc.
For example, I'm a huge fan of Kevin Garnett because of his passion for the game. He's the only guy in the NBA that plays a Tuesday night February game like it's the NBA Finals. He's played that way since he was in high school in Chicago. There aren’t very many people that understand that passion opens the door to greatness at every level of life. KG completely gets it and that's why I ride with him!
I'm also a LeBron fan because of the way he's been able to excel without having a father in his life despite having an unstable mother. Regardless of what you may have thought of "The decision" he's never been in trouble and always handles himself well. I'm an Sooner fan because as child I loved the way they ran the wishbone in the '70's & '80's. I was a running back so I liked watching the team that ran the ball better than anyone else.
So in other words, being a fan is simply respecting guys/teams for the way they get down. If you see the guy on the street you give them a pound and keep it moving bruh. It's as simple as that.
Now being a GROUPIE is like being on a whole different planet! Groupies don't operate with rational behavior at all. They run into a player and want to be the guys best friend right away. They completely overstep their bounds and become intrusive. The groupie is the person that wants to talk way too much and take pictures when it's not appropriate, like while the athlete is eating with his/her family. Then gets upset and tells everybody that they weren't very friendly.
You've heard that dun at work before telling everybody that Kevin Durant was a complete jerk but they didn't say how much of a jerk they were to Kevin Durant. They just destroy a boy's reputation because they were an over zealous groupie.

| The ultimate sucker move! |
The groupie always wants an autograph or has some silly request. I just believe that taking picture with or asking for an autograph from a player is for kids only. The worse move of all time was when former Cowboys RB Tashard Choice asked for Michael Vick's autograph after the game last year. Complete sucker move. Now don’t get me wrong I’ve got a house full of autographed memorabilia but it’s all from people that I have personal relationships with. They're all my boyz! I didn't run up on some cat and ask him for his freakin' name!
Once you're considered an adult then you move into groupie status if you see Peyton Manning at the grocery store and stop him for a picture and you don't have your kid with you. Then you wanna follow ole boy to his ride and put his groceries in the trunk for him. You guys already know how I feel about grown men in jerseys so we won't even go there again. Yeah I will! That's the ultimate male groupie move bruh!
So the question is, "Are you a Fan or a Groupie? Now if you are the chick that is willing to sleep with a boy just because he's famous then you are a full blooded groupie and don't need to answer the joint. You answered when you got naked for a cat that looked like a monster you barely knew and prayed that you would get pregnant. I'm sorry that's the metamorphosis of the groupie that's called the gold digger! They should have just named "Basketball Wives" Groupies and been done with it because none of those broads are anybody's wives. I'm just sayin'!
Hold on playboy, I'm not lettin' you off the hook either! I already told you that wearing a jersey was a complete sucka move. Also, if you're the dun at the bar buying drinks for a cat that can literally buy you, just so he can stand around and chop it up with you so that other cats can see you talking to him, you're a groupie too.
You don't even know this cat but you're spending money on him. That's a hot mess of a groupie move bruh! You may as well have sat in his lap and tongue kissed him because that's how bad you played yourself! Stop me when I start lyin'!
Holla At Ya Boy!
