Number 1 is a no-brainer ;p Link and article below http://sports.insidepulse.com/articles/42773 #1-Los Angeles Lakers Fans From the Friday Music News Bootleg, June 18, 2004 (Laker fans) have driven me to the brink of barbarism heretofore only found in the stands at English soccer "friendlies". Y'all know that stereotype of the West Coast fan, right? They come late and leave early. They're front-running bandwagoners who only show up when the team is winning. Trust me…I've lived out here my entire life and the only team that applies to are your Los Angeles Lakers. Even 100+ miles south, down here in San Diego (and if you don't know, we're pretty much the antithesis of LA in every way) we're infested with their fans who bust out the Lakers' replica jersey with screen printing and short-sleeve cotton t-shirt underneath. It's like all these white and Hispanic folk are paying some sort of sad tribute to 1985 Georgetown Patrick Ewing, without the gallons of game sweat. And, my people are not excused either. Or didn't you know that the whole Kobe Bryant legal drama was just another attempt by the white man to keep the Black man down? Every Laker fan in Southern California played up that theory. In fact, before Kobe was actually charged with sexual assaulting Becky…or Amber…or Kaitlin or whatever her name is, all these apologists were lining up telling us that they know Kobe and he wouldn't cheat on his wife, much less rape somebody. Then, mere minutes after Kobe was formally charged and he admitted to adultery (which he would've kept lying about, if the charges never had come down), Laker fans (and the Los Angeles media) turned on the accuser and painted Kobe as the innocent victim. Of course, Los Angeles Laker supporters are soon to be endangered species, anyway. If the post-Showtime ride in the mid-'90s is any indication, the fans in this post-Shaq, no postseason era will be falling over each other just to jump off that very same bandwagon. Oddly enough, these fans who have, or will be abandoning ship, shortly, never seem to come back. The Lakers are a fad to these people, not unlike Pop Rocks or the pop-lock. You will never hear someone say they've been a Laker fan "all their life" (unless they're 10). Today's fan, most likely, wasn't even born when Norm Nixon wore out those short shorts or the Coop-A-Loop was the truth. Those fans flamed out around Air Jordan's first retirement in 1993. Shaquille O'Neal arrived in 1996 and the universe began again for a new clan of fans. With several upcoming seasons of mediocrity on the horizon, God has successfully incinerated their ranks for a few more years, until they're born again for the next big thing. Hurry, people…the Andrew Bynum era is upon us!
glaring omissions: Philadelphia fans, all sports-- no fans are more hostile to visiting fans (or to their own team, if they underachieve) Detroit Pistons fans-- the brawl, the bomb threats on later trips there-- LOOSERS!
oops... missed that. They should be higher though. I travel a lot on business and love to go to sporting events. I make it a point to cheer politely for my favorite teams at visiting stadiums. Nowhere do I feel less safe doing this than in Philly, followed by Detroit, then Chicago. middle ground: New York, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City most welcoming: Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, LA. I've never been to Houston sports stadiums, so I can't compare Houston fans.
Eastern Montana State Tech Christian University should be on the list too... So should Southern Presbyterian Women Aviation University. Man, I can't stand their fans.
I used to think Texans fans were great until those jackasses poured beers on Carr's wife. So ashamed.
No doubt coming from a Longhorn or Aggie- I've suffered enough non-warranted abuse from UT and A&M fans to write a book in visits to Austin and College Station.

philly fans are the biggest ass holes. they booed destiny's child just because one of them were wearing a lakers jersey during the halftime show!!!!
His list over all is pretty erratic and at times asanine. Sometimes he rides fans for jumping on and off the bandwagon and then he blasts Nebraska fans for running Solich off. A lot of his teams were pretty random. I mean, who would have guessed Mighty Ducks fans would be put in the top 10? And how the hell are Sox fans ahead of Yankees fans? Other than Lakers fans, nothin' riles me up more than loud-mouth Yankee fans. Oh well...
I boo Destiny's Child every time I see them on TV with clothes on. It should be mandatory that they only wear high heels and a top hat at every concert.
