The city of Vancouver has a ton of sports teams to choose from, sports culture is basically a personality trait here. Here’s what your favorite team says about you.
Canucks
If you’ve still got the Vancouver Canucks pinned as your favorite team, first of all… respect. You’ve been put through the ringer, and more than most people would be willing to endure. You’re loyal to a fault and probably have some serious trust issues and slight emotional damage. You’ve grown accustomed to being over promised and massively let down nearly every time.
And if you get some kind of sick enjoyment out of that, I suggest you start considering seeing a therapist.
Whitecaps
If you’re backing the Whitecaps FC, you like slightly niche things, and but your soccer fandom might run deeper than just the local team. You appreciate global culture and the bigger picture. And you like being part of something that feels bigger than just the city.
You also might be a little high strung as the Whitecaps future in Vancouver is up in the air due to needing both a new owner and stadium. So, being a Whitecaps fan requires a long-term mindset and a touch of optimism.
Lions
You’re laid back if you’re repping the BC Lions, you are the monk of Vancouver sports fans. You’re chill, like a good time, but you’re not all about that stress. You take advantage of the summer games, cheap tickets, and the fact that you can move around the stadium without fighting through a crowd. No matter what the end result of the game is, somehow it always ends up being a positive experience.
Canadians
If you’re all in on the Vancouver Canadians, you bring the same energy as play-by-play guy, Rob Fae. A little manic, but positive, confident, and always up for a good time. If this level of baseball is at the you of your list, it’s not just about the game, it’s about the experience.
You like hanging out, eating hotdogs and popcorn, and enjoying a warm evening without taking things too seriously. And you’re probably the most down-to-earth sports fan in your friend group.
At least until the MLB comes to town.
Warriors
You fall into one of two categories if you’re crazy about the Warriors.
Option one is you jumped on the fan bandwagon after one of the best seasons in franchise history for the team. The Warriors definitely gained some new fans after an electric fast paced campaign.
Option two is you’re either ahead of the curve or just like being different. Lacrosse doesn’t always get the spotlight, but maybe that’s kind of part of the appeal. Your part of the movement that’s going to make the NLL feel like it belongs as part of the unique West Coast culture.
