"We" won the cup

I'm very happy that this thread was started. There really is no wrong answer. I, we, they, me, he, she, it. Pick any or all of the above.

The Kings won the Stanley Cup. I am glad that we are all happy about it.

I use both depends on what the situation is. I do feel WE as fans are part of organization. We are part of the driving force for the players, we are the financial backing with our ticket purchases, we are the ones buying the merchadise and concessions. Without fans there is no team.
Like Eddie said some have been around a very long time and have gone through the ups and downs, far more downs, for many years. Far longer than most of the people getting paid to work for the team. We have an emotional attachment to the team, the players and their success.
WE cried when they won, we yelled when they lost, we question everything and rarely get an answer. BUT WE ARE ALWAYS HERE to support the team no matter what.

The only thing douchier than fans who refer to team accomplishments as "we" are fans who insist on correcting them when they do it.

Depends on the context of what I'm talking about. But yeah, I use "we" a good bit.

The Kings fans endured 40-something years of frustration, and then they won on the first year that LGK was the "official" fan page.

I think we should all say "we"!

I find it very hard to beleive that it meant more to any fan than any player. Most guys in the NHL have been living hockey since childhood. Then, it beomes their dream, then their livelihood. We will never understand what it takes to be a pro. But we do know they eat, sleep hockey. Winning the cup means everything to them, as they have dreamed it since childhood.

I put my hard earned money into this team. I can say "we" as I damn please.

How is it a big deal either way? Anyone who uses "we" even though they don't play for the team obviously doesn't think they actually play for the Kings, and anyone who gets riled up at someone using "we" in that context needs to reevaluate their life.

I avoid "we" because "I" didn't help them win, just as I don't say "you suck" when a rival's fan team loses, because it's not the fan's fault his/her team lost.

But I also don't care if others do it differently.
