The only one that is definite is the shirtless guy is a fan of a team called the tigers, and almost certainly a football fan since they are the ones who that kind of fanatical paint jobs on their skin and wear outlandish hats like that...the team colors look like the Cincinnati Bengals but it's a generic tiger team for legal reasons.
