ah, got it lol. well if you're talking about the university you went to that seems pretty reasonable. at the very least you can say that you were actually involved in that organization on some level, you've been a part of it, unlike with a pro football team

People that have watched, rooted, and spent money on their team over a long period of time feel a connection to it and it's easier in conversations to just say We.

You'll understand this once you start watching games

Actually the usage is a corruption of the French “oui” and is meant to indicate positive feelings about the team you’re a fan of

I played in an NBA drumline a few times so I feel pretty good about saying “we” when referring to that team, even though I’m not a fan

I've been a fan of the 49ers for literally 35 years and you're telling me I can't say we. I was born and raised and still live in Las Vegas and Vegas finally got a pro team of its own, the Golden Knights, something I've waited my entire life to finally have, and I can't say we.

Come on now.

Not sure what you’re looking for, unless you want me to make stuff up. For example the team and the cheerleaders and us had a huge party afterwards and we all got trashed and took turns fighting the mascot

Given the tax deals that my team strongarmed out of our stupid politicians, I'm convinced that my team not only hates me but would ritually sacrifice me.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I say Wii because I like to pretend I’m on my favorite team, except instead of throwing touchdowns to wide receivers I’m throwing game controllers at random people on the street.
