This website does not offer user accounts, comments, payments, newsletters or contact forms. Not Real Fans does not intentionally collect personal information directly through this site and does not use advertising pixels or behavioral analytics on the site as of the effective date above.
Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may process basic technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as IP address, request time, browser or device information, requested URL and security signals. That processing is governed by Cloudflare's own policies.
02 / Cookies and links
No tracking cookie jar
Not Real Fans does not currently set advertising or analytics cookies. Links to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, Bluesky, Snapchat and other third-party services take you away from this site. Those services control their own collection, cookies and privacy practices.

04 / Fiction and AI disclosure
The fans aren't real
Characters and story events are fictional unless a page clearly states otherwise. Images, video, audio or text may be generated or modified using artificial-intelligence tools under human creative direction. Similarity to an actual person not expressly identified is unintended and does not imply that person participated in or endorsed the work.

Every sport. Zero official capacity.
Not Real Fans is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or authorized by any athlete, team, club, league, conference, association, federation, governing body, venue, broadcaster, sponsor, apparel company, media company or other brand in any sport.
Any third-party names, uniforms, colors, marks, schedules or cultural references belong to their respective owners and are referenced only for identification, commentary, satire or storytelling. Their appearance does not imply partnership or endorsement.
