How it's used
Refers specifically to supporters of ball sports teams, unlike the broader term 粉絲 which can apply to any celebrity or hobby. It is frequently used in news reports regarding crowd control or sports events. When people want to sound more casual or emphasize their intense passion, they might use the term 死忠.
