What's worse - Bandwagon fans or fans that switch teams?

With all the undeserved hatred towards Miami Heat fans and the false idea that Heat fans are fake or bandwagon fans, I've taken great joy in talking to cousins of mine and other family members in NY that either purchased BK Nets season tickets, or are considering abandoning ship after a decade of Knick futility with no end in sight.
I don't know about you guys, but that is far worse, in my opinion, than jumping onboard a so-called bandwagon when you team starts to be successful. I could NEVER imagine myself rooting for a rival or switching allegiences.. Funny to also see Knick fans root for BK to do well. Can you imagine a Dolphins fan rooting for the Jets to do well?
I've followed the Heat since day 1 and the constant mockery about the fanbase is one of the most frustrating aspects of the post decision Heat world. It's almost as if Knick fans forgot the rivalries we had, the intense hatred and excitement of a true 7 game, grind it out playoff series against your enemy. I guess it's poetic justice that a decent (I would say at least 10%) of their fanbase is abandoning ship.. And lord help them if somehow Dwight winds up in BK!!
