I went the full week to both 2022 St Andrews and 2019 Masters. Great fans. Hard to tell difference. St Andrews a little rowdier as there are bars right outside the gates. All in all very well behaved.

Best fans. - someone said Knicks fans at MSG and I can see that. Sat in front of two 9-year-old kids last year and they knew everything about the players, game etc. amazing knowledge. Goes for NY Rangers fans as well.

Buffalo Bills fans are great and loyal. Most fun fans are Cubs fans at Wrigley during day game. No place in the world better than Chicago on a day game day. I moved to that city just for that experience. The rest of the world is in their office cubicles at 11 AM on a Tuesday and you’re partying with hundreds of fun, attractive people. What’s not to like.

MMA fans are decent but too many tattoos. The tattooed have to be having some pangs of regret. How’s that barbed wire tattoo working out?

Philly Eagles fans are the worst. A gross town w gross people. lol. Philly got stuck with the ugly Italians as the handsome ones stayed in NYC area.

DC Wizards fans are some of the worst. Last game I went to I stood in line for beer at bar and line kept getting longer as the brothers kept cutting in front of me. I would’ve said something but I didn’t want to be stabbed in the heart.

I like the Mexican soccer fans who make US sissified liberal soccer fans cry for yelling a “racist” chant. They’re the best in my book.

The Washington Redskins once had the fanatical devotion of its fans as far back as the Sammy Baugh era through a bad patch after World War Two and then the short-lived Vince Lombardi era followed by the George Allen era and then the Joe Gibbs era. The waiting list for season tickets was as high as 100,000. But the Dan Snyder era destroyed that, a slow-motion catastrophe. Beyond Dan Snyder's self-destructiveness, the collapse of the devotion of Washington to its Redskins is also a result of Washington being more of a transitory city over the past forty years as the government greatly expanded as did the lobbying force. Most Washingtonians in 1970 were born and raised in the Washington area. That's not the case any longer. People come to Washington from all over the country and the world to get on the Washington gravy train. Sports bars all over the Washington area have Sundays dedicated to the teams of other cities- the Chicago Bears, the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers and many others except, perhaps, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The most evil sports fans are those of Philadelphia. I don't know why. They even used to boo Mike Schmidt. But I do find it fitting that the Flyers haven't won a Stanley Cup for nearly fifty years after they bullied their way to two in a row in the mid-70s. It is so sweet.
