IMHO, the pronoun "we" is taking the place of the students, fans and players. There would be no football team if there wern't fans to support them.
no disrespect here either, just my opinion
I strongly disagree. "We" don't play the game. "They" play. "We" support. No disrespect taken. It's all good. I'm just speaking literally, lolol. Later, QD.
