14? 14? Go fist yourself.

The Patriots at 2 is criminal.

I live in the dfw area so I KNOW that Cowboys fans are the most fair weather fans ever. This list is just WTF worthy.

BlackHelicopters 08-22-2013 04:33 AM

Packers 14? Ever been to a Packer game, or even visited the town? Top 5 easily.

I ****ing hate this list.

The majority of the teams at the top of the list have empty stadiums and bars when they're not winning. Indianapolis couldn't sell out their own playoff game, for crying out loud, on a team that was a great winner. Isn't that the fraud of a city that had to pump noise into the stadium to make it louder? JFC.

The Browns play in a poor city and are the most miserable franchise in the NFL, yet they have one of the most passionate fan bases out there. Much as I hate Oakland, same thing there too. And how the **** do you have the Steelers that low? They do realize that other stadiums have a problem with Steelers fans taking over their own home games, right?

Only thing they got right on the list is the bottom 10, except Oakland and Seattle don't belong there.

The first two teams on the list make the whole thing irrelevant.

Is there anything worse than a bandwagon fan? Always pisses me off. A fan of a team always giving me shit for being a fan of my born and raised in hometown team while they're fans of a team that they can't even point out the location on a map. Never fails.

Consider the flip side ...I was born in Houston. NEVER lived in KC. I've been a Chiefs fan my whole life. Why? My parents had University of Houston season tickets in the late '60's - '70's... Elmo Wright was an All American WR who played for UH and was drafted by KC. I became a Chiefs fan when they drafted him. In case you never heard of him, he was the first player to do a TD dance in the NFL. Try living in another city and being a true fan of another team. Not that easy...but I will forever have the last laugh since the Chiefs beat the Oilers in the playoffs at the Dome 20 years ago. Folks here are still bent over it. I was there!

This. I can't tell you how many times I've been told I should be a Yucs fan because I live here. I love when some dumbass sees me wearing Chiefs gear and says some stupid shit like "You're a Chiefs fan? Why?" or "I didn't know they had any fans" or my all time favorite "You're not in Kansas anymore"

Not sure of their criteria, but the list is a joke.

GoChargers 08-22-2013 07:41 AM

What a joke of a list.

Patsies at #2 despite being the most obnoxious group of front-running bandwagoners who didn't have a clue what football was until 2001. When Brady and Belicheat retire, there will be no such thing as a Patsies fan.

Indiana was a basketball state until the Colts got good with Peyton (at which point everyone hopped off the Pacers), so the Colts definitely don't belong at #6.

Chargers at #11? Not until our fans fill the stadium instead of Raiders and Packers fans.

Somehow the team that's owned by its fans only comes in at #14.

The Seahawks consistently have the best and loudest home crowd in the league and they're only 23rd?

The Browns, Bills, Chiefs, and Lions deserve to be in the top five fanbases for how much shit they've put up with from their franchises while still being fans.

As much as I hate to admit it, the Raiders don't belong anywhere near last place.

I've yet to see one of these fan loyalty lists that actually reflects reality.

Bearcat 08-22-2013 08:10 AM

Fan loyalty is an awesome marketing gimmick.... Sure, the product on the field sucks most years and not only is their no incentive to stay loyal, I have to pay full price for preseason games and pay $30 for parking... but, I'm loyal to "my team" damnit! They've done so much for me, like take my money in return for a few hours of what I can only hope is entertainment! And we're so much better than those fans who don't show up when their team is losing! Who would do such a thing, like not paying for a product when it's terrible? Pathetic!

Biggest suckers list

No wonder Oakland so low on the list with all their fans being imprisoned and all

I notice this list has NFL.com team logos, so I will assume that this is their bullshit product.
I guess if you're not buying officially licensed NFL apparel (available at www.nflshop.com!!!), then you're not a fan. I interpret this as (for the most part) the more loyal fans are at the bottom because they've had gear for years and don't jump from one team to the next on a whim.

Or maybe NFL.com has some ****ing moronic magic formula that discovered the two biggest dickweed fanbases in the league are the most "loyal".

MMXcalibur 08-22-2013 08:21 AM

I also notice the majority of the top 15 are teams that have won quite a bit lately. Pretty easy to be a fan and jump on board the wagon when shit's going smoothly.

Seriously, **** this list.
