[Devils-list] "we" "us" - since when are you on the team?

[Jennifer Ellis]

<< Excuse me, but some of us identify very strongly with the team and 
consider it part of our 'family' so to speak. No, we may not be the players 
on the ice or the coach, but we feel like we are right by their side through 
the good (and bad!) times. So it's only natural that we'd use words like 
"we" or "our" on occasion. >>

It does sound a little odd sometimes.  I guess if you are actually FROM the 
area they are YOUR team.  I mean don't they say at games (like in the season 
opener) "Ladies & gentlemen...Your 2000-2001 New Jersey Devils"????
