I have certain teams at the college and pro-level which I ALWAYS root against. The reason is in large part because their fans are, what I deem, obnoxious. My wife has always challenged my reasoning and questioned even the hope of objectivity in this matter. Is she right? Is there real objectivity in determining which fans are truly more obnoxious, or worse: which ones are most evil? Do some fans simply seem more obnoxious or belligerent, or are they essentially more obnoxious and belligerent?
Well GQ magazine, the bastion of objectivity, believes that some fans collectively are actually worse than others. Philly Eagle fan came in at #1 with Phillies fan at a close #2. My West VA readership might be interested to know their beloved Mountaineer Nation came in at #3. You can read why they get such a rating here.
All in all, there may be more objectivity to whether a team really has "bad" fans than one would at first think. I would have ranked Red Sox fan a little higher (he came in at #6, though I realize I'm a somewhat biased Ray's fan), but in the end I still think they did a good job.
If you think GQ missed the boat, comment with some of what you think are the worst fans.
