Cultural significance of current fans

Given the US-centric writers all four are parodies of uber-fans of baseball and football...the kind of fans you see tailgating outside the stadium before a game, waiting outside the clubhouse or locker room, watching batting practice to get baseballs etc.

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.

Yeah, thankfully shirtless body painting & outlandish hats are exclusive to the US.

Some of the football fans are insanely fanatic...but the logical part of me believes the writers don't know or don't care that there are international fans who go that far for their team 8)

And I know the international fans are super fans, I hear it every world cup for hours after one of the big countries wins a match...and seen some near riots in my hometown during the '94 World Cup matches :shock: :oops:

I noticed the letters on each at the start of the event, and gotta say I was disappointed that EA didn't give them T S T & O.

Missed opportunity there. :? :P

I was trying to see if the letters formed a word or have some significant meaning, but I couldn't. come up with anything.

Well, three of them do spell O U T, as in Tapped OUT. But I don't know why the other one is an M instead of a T in that case.

Mobile... OUT? I'm too lazy to check acronym finder.

I have this US/Canadian (?) friend who is a fan of Red Soxs... Are those XOX flags related to that team? Or is it just your usual patterns on US sports merchandise?

In Australia, xoxo, means 'lots of love and kisses'. :P

well lets see, if you arrange them a certain way they spell MUTO which is from that Godzilla movie with Bryan Cranston, or you can get U TOM which may refer to Tom Landry, that or you get a bunch of players paranoid about the anagrams you can get from 4 letters.
Either way im enjoying these anagram findings.
