Help us find the NHL FanSided Sports Fan of the Year
By John Buhler
Are you the best sports fan in the country? Prove it! FanSided is searching for our Fan of the Year and we’re giving away awesome prizes.
Imagine Lou Gehrig giving his farewell speech to a vacant Yankee Stadium or Michael Jordan hitting “The Shot” in front of empty seats. Without the fans, there is no roar, there is no electricity,
there is no glory.
We’re all fans of something. Here at FanSided, that fan spirit is what brings us to work every day, working to connect and your fan communities with the stories that get you excited. Fandom is what binds us all together that is why we’re excited to present the fifth annual FanSided Fan of the Year contest.
What qualifies someone to be the FanSided Sports Fan of the Year? The FanSided Sports Fan of the Year is a person who exemplifies dedication, integrity and “Fansmanship” all for the love of the game.
What is “Fansmanship? Just as athletes exhibit and strive for good sportsmanship, fans strive to exhibit good Fansmanship. Good Fansmanship means representing the teams you follow and the communities those teams represent in a positive way at all times thus perpetuating all that is good about sports and sports fandom.
