Precisely.
I don't know why it is, but I find that my being a Juve fan is a big part of my identity; if I supported Arsenal or Man Utd, I guess I couldn't complain about teenage girls who know shite about football wearing my team's jersey, but as it stands, Juve fans support Juve because of the football they play, not because of their players.
I even felt threatened when I heard that Viduka had a tiny chance of coming to Juve, because that would mean that wearing a Juve jersey around would no longer mean anything in my country.
I'm having a hard time explaining myself, so I'll just stop there and hope ppl understand
