I have heard it has gotten better but it's still very much a problem.

Please don't hate Philly sports fans. Oh I forgot, we don't care!

Meh. Patriots fans were a pretty humble bunch until 2001. I saw them play in Fenway as a kid when they were really lousy. I remember the Bears beat-down in 1986. I remember sitting on those crummy metal bleacher seats with a half empty stadium in 1992 when they went 2-14 and drafted Bledsoe. 1993 wasn't much better. Red Sox fans were pretty beaten down until 2004. Bucky F'ing Dent. Buckner.

The Patriots will be awful soon enough and all those bandwagon fans will vanish into the woodwork. The draft and salary cap will work eventually. The Red Sox will always be competitive because they fill Fenway and they have that NESN television revenue so they can buy players.

About a fairweather bandwagon fan base as you could hope for.

Good for you, you got that elusive ring. Of course turning over cars, smashing store windows and eating horse turds didn't exactly change the perception of your fans.

I agree, Philly is the worst I am a die hard Cowboys fan, however, my coworker is from Philly and strongly advised it is not a good idea for me to go to a Cowboys game there. That should tell you something.

I will say I was in Dallas for the Thanksgiving Day game in 2012 when we played the Redskins. There were Redskins fans around us, including my boyfriend. Another fan was there with her best friend, who was from Dallas, and she was Redskins fan. There were no issues and everyone showed good sportsmanship. And Redskins WON!

This past Superbowl was the worst. You have Eagles fans destroying everything in site and you have Patriots fans blaming everyone and everything else for their loss. If the Pats had won, Pats fans would have the mentality of 'of course we won, we are the greatest in the world and we always will be', and Eagles fans would have still destroyed their city.

Unless they are Lakers fans! A lot of the Lakers fans I personally know are LOYAL TO THE BONE! You'd be hard pressed to find NBA fans as loyal as Laker fans - with only a select few fanbases in the league such as the Knicks rivalling them in their fanaticism and devotion!

I hated Kobe and still remained a Lakers fan. Still a Lakers fan, and that team hasn't been good in a decade. heh LA isn't the worst. Celebs in LA, however, are - so maybe it's a push.
