Why wear the gear if you don't like/support the sport anymore?

Saw a guy at the airport the other day wearing a Chase Elliott sweatshirt. Chase is my wife's driver and my number two, so I made a comment when I was near him like "oh you're a Chase fan? How do you think he'll do this year?" The guy looked me straight in the face and said he hated the sport and that it hasn't been real racing since stages were introduced. Said it was "just a sweatshirt" and that he hasn't gone to or watched a race since they made those changes. Like yeah, to each their own and I know he isn't the only one with the sentiment, but don't wear the gear then. You're still supporting the sport in some way. Just found it to be an odd and slightly funny interaction.
