What teams fans do you dislike the most?

[tjwash]

Not the team itself, but the fans. Because of free agency, and being able too dump mass amounts of money and build quick contenders yet having not been around long enough to have to pay their dues and suffer for years and years, like in the past, my personal picks are: St. Louis Rams, Arizona D-backs, Florida Marlins, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Colorado Rockies. Basically any team who's fans are cocky and arrogant, without having payed their dues for the right to be so. And no, three or four down seasons is NOT paying your dues...

anyhoo, just interested in everyones POV...

[Commendatori]

1. Philly fans of any sport. Then

Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins (and I'm one of them), Washington Capitals (because of their apathy), Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, N.Y. Yankees and Dallas Cowboys.

[Champ]

7. Denver Broncos fan here

:hi:

[Commendatori]

10. And you're named "Champ." Fitting, since you just got him from us.

My few experiences at Mile High Denver sports bars were all miserable, hence the inclusion of Broncos fans on the list.

[Champ]

16. I see

I can't say that I ever been to one. But I do like the Broncos. Champ Bailey had something to do with me choosing my username, I couldn't think of much. I spent about 10-15 minutes trying to come up with a good username.

[Commendatori]

21. I wish I would have

Another few minutes and I'd have chosen the shorter "BlueOysterDem."

One Broncos fan, BTW, shoved his way past me and my ex, giving her a black eye and a cut on her eyelid. We had to leave the game. A bunch of people saw it and shrugged it off.

[Champ]

38. That isn't right

Serious if that was me I would quickly apologize and do whatever I could to make the situation better. I may be a Broncos fan but Im still a liberal.

[Triple H]

2. Yankees fans.

God I hate them. :grr:

Oh, and I also hate Green Bay Packers fans. :grr:

[Teddy_Salad]

4. Oh shit!

You really hate me them.

They're both teams I root for. :(

I'm rather nice.....really....... :cry:

[NewHampshireDem]

27. Two Words ...

1. band
2. wagon

Living here in NH you see lots of punk ass kids running around with Yankees stuff on ... I was giving one a hard time one time and asked him to name the greatest Yankee player of all time ... his response ... and I kid you not, this is what he said ... "I don't know--I haven't watched football that much."

That says it all. "Yankees Suck!"

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. As a Steeler fan living in Cleveland

I have to go with the Dawgs...heartless, savage, bottle-chukking bastards they are.

[tjwash]

5. Got that right...

Man those browns fans...

[johnnie]

45. Aa a Cleveland fan living in Cleveland

Thanks for the compliment.
Although I have to confess, I haven't been to a game in years. I won't pay those fuckers that kind of money for seeing half-asses football.

[Champ]

6. Colorado Rockies fan here

:hi: Actually the only team's fans I'd be close to disliking are Arizona Wildcat fans.

[Loonman]

8. Raiders fans

Yankees, too.

[tjwash]

11. I actually don't mind Raider fans...

...but I dislike the posers who dress up in raider colors, because they think it's cool, or they are a banger who just wants to start trouble, and give you back a blank stare when you ask them who Fred Biletnikoff or Dave Casper was.

[Loonman]

19. Yeah, those guys

Who dress up like GWAR. Regular Raiders fans are okay, I'm sure..

[MissMillie]

54. get my pick too! (n/t)

.

[frylock]

9. cubs fan rubs me the wrong way..

I know there are some posters from Chicago that would take issue, but every time I go to a Padres/Cubs game, I have to deal with drunken, obnoxious Cubs fan.

[tjwash]

12. Any stadium you go to is flooded with cubs fans when the cubs play.

That is a team that travels very well. Just like the Packers.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Hissssssssssssssssssssss!

I'm officially taking issue. When i go to a game, i don't even drink! (I'm too cheap to buy a $7 beer.) I might still be obnoxious, but i'm not drunk.
The Professor

[AngryAmish]

25. I'm a drunken Cubs fan

Whats it to you?

[Cadfael]

29. The reason Cubs fans are obnoxious at Padres games....

is that we're still pissed at you guys shouting "who cares?" during the intros to the 84 playoff series. Seriously. To this day my 80 yr old mother can't stand the Padres.

[tjwash]

31. I was at that series...

And the reason we did that is that NO ONE, but people in San Diego thought we had a chance, and had to endure all the trash talk bullshit leading up to the series, and then when you guys took the first two, you basically were acting like it was over. Zero respect from the media, or cubs fans. So hell yeah, when you act that freakin' arrogant, you should be pissed off, but it shouldn't be at us, you guys should look in the mirror.

And yeah, it was sweet watching the Garv knock you guys out of the playoffs, off of Lee Williams in the bottom of the ninth, over the right field wall. It forced a game five, but everyone knew the NLCS was over after that homer.

Ground ball to Durham, "RIGHT THROUGH HIS LEGS!!!!"

:evilgrin:

[AngryAmish]

32. Sir, that day his name became Leon F'n Durham

It is impossible for a Cubs fan to mention his name without the middle part.

[Cadfael]

40. Arrogant???

Cubs fans arrogant? no true Cubs fan is arrogant about the post season. obnoxious, yes - drunk, frequently, but no true Cubs fan is anything but bewildered by the post season...after all, we are the "lovable losers". We hope, but deep down firmly believe it will crumble in front of our eyes. Every World Series we have to endure listening to the announcers deciding who's gonna lose by the "Cubs factor" - which team has the most ex-Cubs on it.

BTW, the pitcher on the losing end of game four was Lee (my feet hurt) Smith, there never has been a Cubs pitcher names Lee Williams - we did have Mitch Williams (the wild thing) for a while, but not that year... perhaps you were thinking of him :evilgrin:

[russian33]

13. Red Sox fans are the worst...

...every year they get their hopes up, and then get slammed back down to earth...it makes them more bitter every year :headbang:

[name not needed]

28. amen

1918

[CTLawGuy]

48. Yankees fans

most spoiled fans in baseball...

my vote is for Yankees fans from CT. It's because of them I became a Red Sox fan when I was 7. I remember getting on the school bus and the driver would ask each kid whehter they liked the Yankees or the Red Sox. Any kid who said he liked the Red Sox got picked on by all the Yankees fans. At the time I didn't really care about baseball, (plus I was born in Minnesota) but I was annoyed by how smug and self-congratulatory the yankees fans were.

My dislike for the Yankees will only be tempered when there is a salary cap in baseball.

[sniffa]

50. conn. shouLd secede from new engLand

i'm sick of these new yawk suck ups.

me: where you from?

them: new york city.

me: oh yeah, what part?

them: new haven.

[CTLawGuy]

52. NO!

maybe just Fairfield County...

As a CT resident, I resent being thought of as a NY bitch-state like New Jersey.

[Bombtrack]

47. How does that make us "the worst". Because we love our team?

We are the best fans in baseball. Good fans are people that love and support there team. Bad fans do the opposite. I hate the Yankees franchise, but I don't call Yankees fans the worst. There are jackass Yankee fans and there are jackass red sox fans, but as a whole they both have among the better fan bases in baseball. The red sox fans however are the best fans. Thousands of us showed up to watch one of them shave, ok.

[devilgrrl]

14. Any fan of a NFL franchise...

Professional Football fans are obnoxious in general, it doesn't matter who they're rooting for. And yes, Cleveland Browns fans are especially awful, I've experienced them first hand.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Hey! Hey hey there! I am not obnoxious...I am dedicated.

:P

[Whitacre D_WI]

15. Whoever one of my teams is playing.

[pintobean]

34. Another good one.

You usually make me laugh.

[Whitacre D_WI]

35. Hey, thanks!

I mean, I was being serious, but thanks! :hi:

[pintobean]

36. Maybe you can do an

I hate your favorite team thread. The band thread was good for some laughs.

[Whitacre D_WI]

37. Hm...

[tjwash]

17. Hey 800, YES I AM OUT OF THE SEVEN HUNDRED CLUB!!!

ok.

[rinsd]

18. Tie between Cowboys and Eagles fans....

I don't mind Red Sox fans that much.

[geniph]

22. Yankers.

no question.

[AngryAmish]

23. Packers fans

They sit around all day, eating bratwurst after bratwurst, chugging beer, belching, farting, picking cheese curds out of their mustaches and slapping their distended bellies.

And the men are just as bad.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I, MrsGrumpy, have only eaten one bratwurst in my life...

and I shave on a weekly basis. ;)

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

44. Guilty

But you say that like it's a bad thing...

[CTLawGuy]

51. how about packers fans

who have never been to Green Bay. they just like them because they win all the time. I decided a long time ago that liking whatever team is winning at the time is boring.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

53. They win all the time?

You're a young 'un, aren't you. That or you don't remember the Green Bay Packers of the 1970's and 1980's.

[CTLawGuy]

55. both..

NT

[bif]

30. Red Wings fans

The fighting, drinking and foul language at a Red Wings are something else. I wouldn't take my kids to a game. Heck, I wouldn't take ME to a game again.

[WoodrowFan]

33. Yankees, Yankess, and Yankees

They act as if THEY won all those World Series themselves.

[Dees]

39. No dues..Rams? Sorry, doesn't wash.

The St Louis Rams bit the big one (Tony Banks..Rich Brooks) prior
taking it all in 2000. Eat your heart out. GO RAMS!!!

[HuckleB]

41. 1. Diamondbacks 2. Broncos 3. Mavericks 4. Lakers 5. Buccaneers ...

1. Diamondbacks (cocky and hardly supported the team until it made the series)
2. Broncos (cocky and annoying)
3. Mavericks (cocky and annoying)
4. Lakers (cocky and annoying)
5. Buccaneers (cocky and annoying)
6. Vikings (just annoying)
7. Braves (just cocky)
8. Red Sox (at the ballpark, anyway)
9. White Sox (talk about soreheads)
10. All Houston franchises (just because)

[Awsi Dooger]

42. Fans at Florida Field are obnoxious, ignorant, criminal hicks

My parents, both Miami grads, refused to make the trip to garbage Gainesville anymore, long before the chicken Gators ducked out of the annual series with the 'Canes after '87. I completely understood the decision.

After the Miami/FSU games, regardless of locale, classy Seminole fans extend a hand and genuinely wish your team well the rest of the way. At Florida Field, we were always just hoping to leave with our bodies and possessions intact.

* They took a pennant out of my little sister's hand and snapped it, entering the stadium

* They tossed literally hundreds of mini frisbees at Miami fans, replenishing the supply even when the home PA announcer warned of a penalty

* They bent an antenna on our car, which was decked with Hurricane logos.

* While a student at USC, I attended a USC/Florida game at Florida Field in '82. The night before, at a pizza joint, a group of brilliant Gator students noticed my USC shirt and dumped our pizza on the floor, immediately after it had been delivered. Then they launched an orange/blue chant like it was the greatest accomplishment of their lives, undoubtedly true.

No wonder Howard Schnellenberger ordered an unprecedented last-second field goal by Danny Miller at Florida Field in the early '80s, rubbing it in during a Miami blowout. Schnellenberger has never regretted that, and maintains only the infantile Gator fans could have made him do it.

I attended last September's 38-33 'Cane comeback in the Orange Bowl, vs. the only slobs who could make Brock Berlin look marvelous.

[theoceansnerves]

43. i do like that

everyone on DU hates the lakers but no one has mentioned lakers -fans- in this thread yet. :D

[Bombtrack]

46. Braves fans(or lack thereof) are aweful. They never show'd up to the games

or at least filled the stands until practically the playoffs. Red sox sell out the park EVERY GAME NO MATTER WHAT. Granted it's the smallest ballpark in baseball, but just the fact that we can have the second or third highest payroll(due to revenue) despite being in the 11th biggest metro.

Marlins fans are bad too, but since I'm also one of them I'm less likely to criticize. But there is a hell of alot more to do in Miami(more distractions and activities) than there is in Atlanta.

Baseball is the only major sport I'm really into. I hate ALL Cocky Yankee fans who act like they're partially responsible for the Yankees being good. And who do the prick 1918 bullshit. I don't hold someone just being a Yankee fan against them. If you're from the NY area that is. People who hop on the Yankee liking bandwagon from around the country are Fred Durst like tools

[phillybri]

49. Notre Dame, UNC, Cowboys, Yankees...

n/t

[meow2u3]

56. Yankee fans, Cowboy fans, and Flyer fans

One is more obnoxious than the next--and so insufferable it ruins my enjoyment every time I'm around one of them.
