There are times when you're watching a sporting even on television, and then when the camera flashes to a particularly hapless fan you want to grab him/her by the shoulder and say "Why are you struggling so much?!" Then you come to the sad realization that you'll never know because they're simply a just part of a camera flash, so instead of a why you get another reminder why being a human being is sometimes not all it's cracked up to be.

It's not just a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time; it's just unlucky. Peep the GIF Gallery of The Worst Sports Fan Fails in sports.
