purcell said:By this definition I not a devoted fan of the sport because I do not buy pro sponsored items ( unless on counts Camapgnolo parts), and even though I have been a fan of ice hockey for 40 years I am not a "devoted" fan because I don't go the arena and buy a team jersey???
Really?
Instead of 'devoted fan,' replace it with the term 'schmevoted fan.' I doubt that you are a schmevoted fan.
