This is not what a fanboy/fangirl is. It has nothing to do with teams. It is generally used to refer to individuals who are die hard obsessed with products generally. Such as video games. These people also do a generous amount of experimentation and sampling before they assign a fanboy title to themselves. A fan is a beer chugging neanderthal who propagates a ridiculous ritualistic "game" in which far too many people get paid or spend far too much money, generally these people only stand behind their "teams" due to birthplace, or favorite person to live through vicariously (AKA player/coach) ,or locality to the team. Not a very informed decision.

A passionate fan of various elements of geek culture (e.g. sci-fi, comics, Star Wars, video games, anime, hobbits, Magic: the Gathering, etc.), but who lets his passion override social graces.
