As a long time Pats Fan who now lives in Florida and also does a lot of travel in the US, I have to say I am starting to think we are now the team America loves to hate. All I have to be wearing is a piece of Pats gear and I get an ear full............and they love to tell me the thing they dislike the most is the arrogance of the Pats fans as a whole.
I am not a baseball fan but a Red Sox fan and I kind of think the Pats are regarded somewhat like the Yankees.......evil empire
People love winners......but they love controversy just as much, and they love to judge!
