Forbes’ best sports fans: not us

Forbeshas done another one of their surveys, this one about the best fans in the Big 4 sports.

Maybe it’s because nobody showed up Sunday or maybe it’s because of jerks like me who have thrown in the towel on August 3rd… but we’re not on it.

The Yankees are #15 and the Phillies #16.

That got me thinking. The Mets are on the way to being one of those loser franchises that talks about a championship that happened last century. If Phillies fans bust out a 19-80-6 chant what could we say?

Once the franchise had won 2 rings in it’s first 25 years. Now it’s 2 in the first 48. The Marlins laugh at that.

  1. We showed up at Shea. This place is an amusement park. Oh, Come to $iti Field. We have the Shake Shack, Blue Smoke, a wiffle ball field for your kids to play at and shop for wife’s to spend money. And, by the way, after all that we do have a game for you to watch from your obstructed view seats. This team and ownership are a joke and the true fans will Show Up when this changes.

  2. I really don’t think there’s any team in the NL Least that should have a chant … except maybe the Marlins. The Phillies took 105 years to win their 2nd world series, the Braves won’t win for another 30 years … and then they’ll have to do that in their new city (only one WS per city for that franchise) and the gNats … they can talk when they PLAY a WS game. But that’s just how I see it.

  3. I disagree with some of the teams left off of the list and think they should replace some of the ones that made it. How can you not see that the Cubs have a rabid fanbase. They haven’t won a World Series since 1908 or been involved in one since 1945, yet they manage to pack the park every year. How about Cleveland Browns fans?
    Regarding Yankee fans, for the most part they are bandwagon jumpers that will be wearing new Mets gear as soon as the teams’ fates reverse themselves (which, unfortunately, I do not see happening any time soon).

  4. Wow, it takes a real die hard to root for the Yankees, Red Sox, Red Wings, Patriots, Steelers, Lakers or Spurs. So many lean seasons of late… If it didn’t take 20 minutes to read that unnecessary pop-up laden laptop crasher, their vanilla choices would’ve been my chief complaint.

  5. How do the Phillies fans make this list? They were called frontrunners by their own star player! How are the New York Rangers not on this list? Idiotic.

  6. i think most Mets fans suck lately myself, so no surprise.

    What would we say to the Phillies, the losingest franchise in sports history? The team that averages 1 world championship a century? They have the same amount of championships as the Mets and they’ve existed for almost three times as long.
