noun | fan toh·kuhns
Fan tokens are like the Beanie Babies of sports - they're digital collectibles that let you show off your loyalty to your favorite team, but they're also a speculative bubble waiting to burst. It's like throwing money at an athlete who's past their prime, hoping they'll return to their glory days.
Example
"I dropped $10k on a Paris Saint-Germain fan token because I thought Messi would take them to the moon this season. Now I'm holding heavy bags while watching Ligue 1 highlights on replay. At least I'll always have my digital scarf to keep me warm at night."
"Fan tokens are just another way for sports teams to extract money from their already broke-ass fans. It's like, 'Hey, you like our team? Prove it by giving us more of your money for this useless digital trinket! Dance, monkey, dance!'"
