Bleacher Report reports a survey of NFL players, the question being who are the most annoying fans in the NFL.
And the winner is… it’s a tie between the Eagles and the Cowboys!
Thoughts?

It shows how nice Midwestern people are that the Chiefs aren't the answer. Usually the most successful team is considered to be the most annoying.
For how popular they are, I don't have a close friend/relative/coworker who is a Cowboys fan. I don't think I get the brunt of that. Meanwhile, I have a bunch of Eagles fan friends, but they are the neurotic fan type - - not the throwup-on-a-girl/eat-horseshit/chuck-batteries kind of Eagle fans.

In fact one of them literally threatened to shoot me. And this was after I told him that I’m not a Chiefs fan but I’ve never rooted against them. And I was okay with Chiefs fans and okay with them winning. He threatened me after I told him that! But, by and large, most Chiefs fans I’ve met are cool. So cool that by the end of the conversation I was congratulating them for their team winning the Super Bowl. **My experience with Cowboys fans have been a mixed bag. Most of them seem very proud of their team. Some of them are very reasonable and sociable about it. Others have been high-minded jerks quick to insults. Living off the glory days of their team’s dynasty years. But since the 1990s (their last dynasty) I’ve seen more of the reasonable type and less of the jerks. ***Sadly Eagles fans have earned their reputation. It’s not all Eagles fans are like this. But most of them are. And it’s one of those situations where the loudest are always the ones most seen and providing representation. ****Actually invented by Oakland Raiders fans. I was surprised they weren’t taking the place of Cowboys fans in the tie. But maybe since they’ve moved to Vegas their fans aren’t as edgy, jerk wads like in Oakland. |

I just think DAL & PHI fans are louder, which I suppose = annoying to those opposed.
My vote is for Broncos fans. They're like St. Louis Cardinals fans, as if we're all the rest of us just visiting.

It was surprising to see how many Vikings fans there were at Denver last week - - although, I assume, their ranges overlap in places. |

I knew I wasn't a biased Giants fan. These truly are the most obnoxious and annoying fans.
Those that I know personally are generally ok, but when you get these people together in a stadium it's a douche bag festival the likes of which the league cannot match otherwise.

Of all the New York teams, I think the Giants would be the least reviled of the fanbases (and not just because they suck this year). There is something about the ownership that seeps down into the fanbase, some dignity and gravitas that comes from the Maras. They just seem different from Knicks or Jets or Yankees fans. |

Blue collar SB titles doesn't hurt either... + they annoy the Cowboys for the rest of us. |

Chargers have to be ranked 32nd simply because they don't have any.
Its not surprising the Cowboys and Eagles get the top spots as they are a very vocal fanbase. During the Patriots dynasty im sure the Patriots fans would be right at the top. They were always seemingly looking for an argument about one thing or the other to prove some sort of superiority.
Every fan base will have the shit heads among them. Bears fans are pretty chill unlike Vikings fans who are just miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too. Any parent that passed Viking fandom off to their children should be child abuse. Jets fans somehow aren't even as miserable as Vikes fans. They more so just embrace the suck.
I've heard Chiefs fans are starting to get annoying but im not around any of them to confirm or deny. Could just be people complaining because of jealousy. Or could just be the obnoxious Kelce/Swift crap or Mahomes family crap.

I was going through jr high in the mid 90's when the Cowboys were on their dynasty run and my school was full of doucher Cowboy fans who would outright bully anybody for liking any other team. I'm sure most of these pricks only latched onto Dallas teat AFTER they got back on top! I was born in 1980 so even the oldest students weren't even alive when the Cowboys won their last SB before Jimmy Johnson came to town and Jerry Jones stole the Boys away from Landry.
Eagles fans boo referee calls more than any fan base I have heard in the NFL. Most teams that take a penalty the fans will let it go, but Eagles fans just let out an audible boo every time when it doesn't go their way.
Raiders fans by far are involved in the majority of drunken fan brawls in the stands that I have been recommended on Youtube.

While New England was dominating the AFC Least for the better part of 20 years, many of those asshats were really just Brady fans. Very vocal, incredibly douchey, and not very bright. There's many a comment section on YouTube flooded with them desperately seeking validation and attempting to bait non Brady fans into a response. Quite a bit of unseemly, pathetic behavior from them. It's slowed down a bit since Brady retired but those twats are still there. Years ago, there were additional websites (the "Sports" section of IMDb being one of them) where these people gathered.
However, it wouldn't be fair to give Brady fans the top spot because you'd have to reserve that for fans who actually instigate physical altercations. Fuck those people. |

I know people hate the Yankees, but I didn't think other NY teams were hated. The Jets have been such a laughing stock for so long that hating them would be like hating the Mets. And the 90s Knicks were generally a well liked team, I thought. They were the tough and scrappy rival to the Bulls dominance... and since then the Knicks have been so bad and such an embarrassment that it would be odd for anyone to hate them or the fans. |

All sports teams have some unlikable fans. No sports fanbase is perfect.
