I've seen the meme in American advertising, even if not by ESPN. I remember a commercial in the Pittsburgh market from the Dick's sporting goods chain aimed at "people who live, eat, drink, and sleep black and gold." It stuck with me because I aspire to be a casual fan and I'm turned off by the idea that obsessives are the real fans. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
