TOOL!
My roommates played football at Auburn, one of them brought that very point up about other students in class following a last second win over Bama.
Where is Satchip? Anyways, so I've always been aware not to say "we" but it's also fine to say "we" in the context of a conversation otherwise you have to keep clarifying who you are talking about. Not to mention there are indeed times it is a "we". If it's not then why play in front of a crowd?
So I think that you're overreaching with the tool classification.
