Agreed OP, they should use the term "12th person" to not discriminate against female and 3rd gender fans.
It's amazing how far this site has come when it comes to recognizing harmful patriarchal constructions.

Lincoln Parker

Christian Bell
it's fine if
>they wore an unusual (>12) number for a starter
>they were a long-serving player for the first team
>they died while under contract
Aaron Perez
>not having a fan on the field like they do at Texas A&M
Jaxson Cook

Jose Hall
Well other clubs in Holland also have ultras, no? Not to mention Argentina...
Thomas Adams
shit like people being West Ham "fans" because of that film
Jaxon Sullivan
Nah I think he's talking about people saying they like a team because of their fans. I'm not sure why he's saying anyone's a fan of R*cing fans though LMAO
Christopher Thomas

There's only one team that can use this - Texas A&M Aggies
"On Jan. 2, 1922, the heavily outgunned Aggies were facing the top-ranked Centre College Praying Colonels on the gridiron in the Dixie Classic in Dallas. An Aggie by the name of E. King Gill, a squad player for Texas A&M’s football team, was up in the press box helping reporters identify players on the field below — and what was happening on the field wasn’t pretty.
The Aggies found themselves plagued by injuries, with their reserves seemingly dwindling with every play. As Texas A&M Coach Dana X. Bible looked across his rapidly emptying bench, he suddenly remembered Gill’s presence in the stands. Bible waved Gill down to the sideline and told him to suit up. Gill ran under the bleachers and put on the uniform of injured running back Heine Weir, who had been knocked out of the game in the first quarter.
Gill returned to the sideline, where he stood ready to play for the entirety of the game. When the last play was run, the Aggies found that they had pulled off one of the greatest upsets in college football history, winning the game 22-14.
And Gill remained standing, the only player left on the team’s bench.
Gill’s willingness to serve his team in 1922 has passed down from generation to generation of Aggies for more than nine decades, as Texas A&M’s student section stands together during entire football and basketball games, a symbol of the 12th Man on the team"
TLDR: Back in the 20s, the Aggies were running out of players and had to use a A&M student from the crowd to suit up, from there they eventually turned the game around and won. From then on the 12th man has been a school tradition and the sacred #12 jersey is reserved only for special players who earn the jersey
