I try and use "they" or the flames but sometimes catch myself using "we". As mentioned, Sports Fandom is pretty ridiculous in a totally objective way. Grown men getting children (world junior, rookies) names on their back is totally absurd, in fact getting any player's name is kind of absurd, but whatever. As Chuck Klosterman says, we are basically cheering for laundry so it's pretty silly to get upset over anything.

And yes Jiri, if the media uses "We" that's totally unprofessional.
