exactly.

though, i do think that IQ has a higher probability of being correlated with fans who have no connection through family, friends, location, or childhood nostalgia. pretty tough to find someone like that but in theory that person would make his/her decision based off of what they see rather than prior connections.

If you're talking about admiring certain players' personalities, and lifestyles / lifestyle choices, then i'd have to agree.. (like people admiring Balo's camo Bentley )

People with high intelligence like high intelligence play and players, and the other way around. People in a low social level (high crime rate, low income) like players that are more known for their bling and arrogance (balotelli, cr7). Do you guys believe that there is a connection?

You forgot the most obvious option. d) they are a winning team or a traditional club

What I do think is true, is that some "stupid" people use supporting a football club as a cheap excuse for their stupid actions, talking about violence, vandalism, racism et cetera here. "We lost? Let's go beat up some of their fans!"

what else can we expect from catalans... calling ronaldo & balotelli arrogant hahahahaha... i bet that u know nothing about their pasts

i bet that u dunno that ronaldo sold his goldenboot to donate 1.5mil euros to build schools in gaza or that he donated 30mil pounds to build schools in somalia etc...

u r just a jealous hater... im not a balotelli fan, but hes a great human being, not arrogant at all... the only arrogant thing about him is something that i read recently(smoking in a train, disobeying the law) for the rest hes a great person
