Though I do consider myself a sports fan, you've touched on one of my pet peeves. Even at colleges that I once attended and now patronize, I do not pretend to be part of the winning team.
If you're not actually on the court/field, or otherwise work for or in the organization, it ain't "we." Those who insist on this worldview typically arrive on campus on, say, Wednesday, within an enormous RV, wear no colors other than the team's own, and continuously tailgate for 72 hours until gametime on Saturday*.
For the pro game, the "we" phenomenon makes even less sense.

*Though admittedly, participating in the tailgate is lots of fun, so please note that in itself, there's NAWWT. (So thanks, Ms. McGillicutty! And goooooo [school mascot]!)
