Study declares Cowboy fans the best fans in the NFL

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, this oughtta go over well...

Study shows Cowboys have the best fans in the NFL

“We focused on using hard data to determine which NFL team had the most avid, engaged, passionate and supportive fans, the website’s Manish Tripathi said. “By hard data we mean data on actual fan behavior. In particular, we are focused on market outcomes like attendance, prices or revenues.

“We use fifteen years of data on NFL team performance, ticket prices, market populations, median incomes, won-loss records and multiple other factors. We create statistical models of box office revenue, and then see which teams over- and under- perform the model’s predictions.”

Florio points out that the methodology leads to a more likely result of "which fanbase is most easily sold to".

I'd say that makes sense, given that Cowboy fans are easily sold on the notion that they're going to win the Super Bowl every season despite the fact that they haven't had much in the way of real playoff success since the early nineties.

Best sure is a weird word for auto correct to choose for 'stupid'

Maybe the most naive fans in the NFL....

Cowbitch fans have nothing on Browns fans...they, like Pittsburgh, couldn't find their team's city on a map to save their lives.

Even if they normalized all this data across all NFL teams, it's still a shoddy study. Must be a senior project for a high school senior hoping to major in statistics.

I get it that this is a 15 year study but last year 40% of their stadium was opposing fanbases. Way to protect your home turf "best fans in the NFL". 

 

I give you Exhibit A:

This is not a 49ers home game, this is in Dallas.

Best fans, my ass! Panther Fans don't have back up Texan and Saint jersey's in they closet.

My thoughts exactly. Browns fans are real fans. They know year in and year out that their team will suck, and they still LOVE that damn team. Not like in Tennessee or Jacksonville where they just don't care, Cleveland loves their team.

What about Buffalo?  This fugers were willing to snow shovel the stadium by hand so they could watch their team lose.

[countryboi]

clearly these people have never actually met a cowboys fan

[Mr. Scot]

I'd say Raider fans are a pretty loyal bunch.

(granted, a good number of them are insane)

This picture fills me with an uncontrollable rage.  I fugging hate the niners
