Title: People saying 'we' when referring to the sports team they support...
Reason: User Warned: Derailment - Stop arguing about the language of attribution
I do not feel superior to sports fans (neither to those who use this phrasing), I just have an issue with this, because I think it is unfair to attribute other people's successes to oneself. If it is purely emotionally, then this is fine, because you cannot control it, but if it is linguistically, then it is a deliberate dicision to do so. Also, I have a strong inclination towards correctness and clarity in language, so I have issues with all kinds of deliberate imprecisions.
