Glory Hunters and the Role of Television

A glory hunter could be described as a football fan that has associated themselves with a successful team for the self gratification of being able to say that their team is the best or similar. Such teams could be Liverpool, Manchester United or Manchester City. It is quite possible that such fans do not attend matches in person but are catered for by matches on television. The term "armchair supporter" has been used for such fans. The development of hate could occur for the associated teams, especially amongst supporters who attend matches or those that support a local team (considered a birth right).
