[[File:Rock en Parque Roca (6796076495).jpg|thumb|250px|Fans at a recital in [[Buenos Aires]], [[Argentina]]]] A '''fan''' or '''fanatic''' is someone who like a thing, a person, or an idea. Things that fans might like are [[hobby|hobbies]], [[sport]]s (often a [[team]]), [[music]], a kind of [[movie]] or [[book]], or almost anything. There are lots of kinds of fans, including [[science fiction]] fans and fans of [[popular music]] [[star]]s, like [[The Beatles]]. Fans will meet with each other to talk about and share their interest, often in large groups called [[convention]]s. The word ''fanatic'' can also be used to talk about people who care a lot about [[politics]], [[religion]] or their own group of people. Some fanatics can hurt other people whom they dislike, or who disagree with them. In [[British English]], '''supporter''' is their word for a person who likes and supports a sportsperson or a team. Many teams of some sports have thousands of supporters, for example, the [[football (soccer)|football]] team [[Real Madrid]]. In American English, '''supporter''' is more often used to talk about people in [[politics]]. Supporters of a politician, a [[political party]], or an idea such as a particular [[law]] may like their subject very much, but usually are not violent. {{sport-stub}} [[Category:Sports]] [[Category:Fandom]]
