How do you view the fan bases of your sports teams?

Blackhawks—percentage of fans that get the game and how the team operates is…minimal. Mostly just dumbasses that came onboard when the hawks won their 2010 cup and can’t figure out “why youse don’t resign Kane and coach q”. Knowledgeable fans would call those ones “armdancers” or “tenners”. Armdancers comes from the goal song and the ridiculous dancing people would do with it. Tenners is because they became fans in 2010.

Blue Jays—lots of fans buy into the sportsnet hype and can’t figure out why the team hasn’t won several world series by now because of Bichette and Vladdy. The ones that don’t are ok, but hat the split is I’m not sure to be honest. I’m more of a casual fan myself.

Eagles - team is beloved. The fanbase can be tough on them at times but supports the hell out of them

Flyers - Fanbase accepts crap. Franchise won 2 cups in the 70s and the fanbase still remembers that. Team can do no wrong.

Phillies - team is beloved in recent years. Up until Harper arrived .....I guess this is the fickle fan base. Can go hot or cold.

Sixers- No comment really. Team tanked for years and came away with only one good player. 

It's strange recently. Lions fans were always the tortured bunch just waiting for the next fuck up and rightfully so. A draft day Facebook memory popped up recently. My post, "5 minutes until the Lions do something stupid." That sums up our draft day philosophy in the pre-Campbell era.

They have lost games that became the case study for rules, "The Calvin Johnson Rule"- where Johnson caught a ball, got two feet, two thighs, and an ass down with possession, but when he put his hand down with the ball in it to stand up it was determined that he "didn't complete the process of the catch." Then there was the run-off rule. The Lions scored with 8 seconds left to win the game. Upon review, the runner was not in, so it was first and goal from the inch line. I think they were down two and had time-outs left, so a field goal should have won it, BUT because the refs mistakenly called TD, which stopped the clock there had to be a 10-second run off and the game was over, Lions lose!

You just expected them to do dumb shit and when they didn't dumb shit happened to them. Fuck, in the 90s they built a good young O-Line, and one guy got paralyzed on a fluke play and another guy gut run over by a car in his front yard while gardening. Barry & Calvin both up and retired out of the Honolulu blue.


NOW- Everyone is excited. Dan Cambell is balls to the walls and the fans and players love him. He's ballsy as hell, and he fake punts, calls fake field goals, and goes for it on damn near every 4th down. He's the greatest coach ever. Except when it doesn't work, then he's the reason we're not in the Super Bowl, and the reason the team can't be taken seriously.


It's like these twats got a little taste of winning and they forgot to enjoy it or the guy that's supplying it. Fuck em! Go Campbell, and Go Lions!



Red Wings- Pretty much the same as the Lions. Trust the Yzerplan.
Yzerman took over and the team was full of good third-liners. That's it. The first two lines would have been role players on any other team, so he traded everyone for prospects and draft choices. The plan was in 3 to 5 years the team would be a contender. They were going to keep the young guys out of the NHL to develop for a year or two rather than rushing them to the NHL, which is how they got a team full of young underdeveloped 3rd liners in the first place. The Red Wings currently have the highest rated class of players in developmental hockey.

So this year the team was youngish at spots, and then he brought in a bunch of veterans and signed them to one or two-year deals, with the purpose of dumping them when the prospects were ready.


Guess what? They fucking overachieved this year and became a playoff contender. So every fucking meathead is screaming for Yzerman to trade some draft picks and minor leaguers at the deadline for some veteran star power. For what? To lose to the Rangers in the first round? For fucks sake.


Now people want him to be fired. The team was predicted to win 20 games and won 40. They have the best prospects in the NHL. "But they have no cap space!" Yes, but those vets he signed to one and two-year deals will go off the books right as the young players develop. Settle the fuck down you bandwagon fan cunts.



The Pistons & Tigers... that's just too sad to talk about.

It is sad to see what the Dallas Cowboys have become. Jones bought the team in 1989 and the team quickly rebuilt itself to win the Super Bowl in 1993 and 1994. The team should have dominated the 90s but instead Jones and coach Jimmy Johnson had a feud and Johnson was replaced with Barry Switzer. Despite this change, the team still won the Super Bowl in 1996. Then the wheels fell off. From everything I have read, it sounds like Jones' ego and micromanagement caused the demise of the team. I get that dynasties eventually fall and that teams lose great players due to retirement, injury, trades, etc. It is just sad to compare the team of today with the teams of the 90s. Dak Prescott is no Troy Aikman...Ezekiel Elliott is no Emmitt Smith...etc

I dont know if they are the best but they sure are committed and buy in every year. All of my neighbors will be expecting a national title just like they did last year and the year before etc etc

Winnipeg Jets-knowledgeable fan base who love the team but the last couple seasons have seen a chunk in the armor. The team was just soundly beaten in the playoffs by the Colorado Avalanche who made the Jets look like a minor league team despite finishing 4th in the NIL in points. Several players too soft for the playoffs. 2nd season in a row for a quick first round exit.

Toronto Blue Jays- though to be honest I don't follow baseball as closely as I would if the Montreal Expos still existed.Fan base of every Toronto based sports team are delusional fucks. The end.

Las Vegas Raiders-Hard to say. They appear to be enthusiastic but I don't think they are as fanatical as Oakland Raiders fans were.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers-Enthusiastic and die hard even through the lean years and long Grey Cup drought. Have been to 4 Grey Cups in a row, winning the first 2 and losing the last two, which they should have won.

Hardly watch any basketball , pro anyway am at all and think there are many fans who go, just to be seen.

A y College sports I watch fans are absolutely crazy for their team.

In all sports though what you see these days is an incredibly high % of fans who are either on their phones the entire time or watching the event on their phones. That makes no sense to me.
