Folk who sit on their sofas and watch football on TV are not the same as those who actually go to a match and watch it live. The latter can be genuinely called fans, the former are consumers. Fans make an effort to go and see Real Football, TV consumers watch Real Madrid. Consumers are as interested in football in the same way they are interested in shopping, and support a particular team to the same extent that they support Tesco over Asda.
