Hi

Maybe we have a transatlantic problem here. In US English, the word does seem to have bad meanings

However, I have googled football freaks, film freaks, and Jesus freaks and what I find is people who, respectively, are lovers of football, films and Jesus

The word is perhaps going out of fashion, but it is still there

A football-freak (or other type of freak) is someone who is overly obsessed with football. The "freak" descriptor describes behavior that would be considered by most people as abnormal. (At least in American English)
