We then let everyone vote to determine which fanbases truly deserve the title of “worst.”

Cowboys fans are annoyingly arrogant, believing themselves to be the best fans while living in the past glory of 1990s championships.
Infamously aggressive, Eagles fans openly embrace their reputation for rude, inappropriate behavior and taking sports too seriously.
Chiefs fans have an intense but losing rivalry over stadium noise with the Seahawks fans.
Patriots fans became insufferable bandwagoners after years of futility once Belichick and Brady led the team to consistent success and Super Bowl wins.
Known for fan violence, Raiders supporters are more concerned with beating up opposing fans than whether their team actually wins games.
Steelers have fair-weather fans nationwide who pretend to have Pittsburgh roots, while many season ticket holders are too old to even attend games.
