I think the age-spectrum for football (and other sports) is a lot broader and the most energetic fans (hooligans, ultras gangs) are not really held in high regard - but I take your point, there are probably tonnes of fan-boys for Cristiano Ronaldo and co.

Sigh, do I really need to do this?

I'm not going to go over the anecdata of "but for every outspoken fan, there are a dozen closeted ones".

There are some numbers in this Telegraph article: https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2008/nov/06/twilig...

95% women, ~60% below 25 or younger. Didn't find any other fast sources of data, other studies are welcome

Figures for viewership of Premier League matches:

Males are roughly twice the number of females, between 19-25% are 25 or younger.

If you find some actual numbers to retort with, that'd be great.
