How to Be an NFL Fan and a Hipster.

This is a quick and easy guide for hipsters to support an NFL team, while still retaining their street cred.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Professional Football team to support
• A couple open Sundays every month
• A sense of irony

1. 
    

   Pick an NFL team to support. Either the local team, or an NFL team that has had an extended run of futility (i.e. Houston Texans, Detroit Lions).

2. 
    

   Purchase a vintage jersey on ebay for one of your team's failed draft picks. Preferably a skill position player for more name recognition. Examples would be a Rick Mirer Seahawks jersey or a Ryan Leaf Chargers jersey.

3. 
    

   Join a low level fantasy football league where there are multiple excuses to drink Pabst. This will familiarize yourself with the players from around the league, plus give you ample opportunities to trash talk your friends.

4. 
    

   Study the police records of the players from your selected team. This will allow you to make snarky comments like "Ray Lewis is the best linebacker in NFL history to ever get arrested for obstruction of justice in a murder investigation."

Tips & Warnings

• Unless it's your local team, don't pick a team that has won a Super Bowl in the last 5 years, plays in a major media market, or has a Manning as a QB. That will classify you as a poser.
• Don't drink PBR and drive your Vespa home.
