More than that, this is absolutely WHY they argue these points. They're the people bitter they were picked last for team sports and so they demand to make professional sports the same "you get a participation trophy just for playing in the league" experience to the pros.

Make no mistake, this would be their first goal, the endgame would be "...it's mean I don't get to be Lebron James; therefore we need to force the Lakers to sign every Lakers fan in the world and let them play minutes in games, and let them be world-famous like Lebron is."
