Being pissed at a controversial decision that cost your team a game is one thing. Spewing hateful racist remarks at golden Tate for making a phenomenal play is entirely another. Packers ain't shit and their fans ain't shit.
Hawknballs":2kskhwhg said:Seems like every time some fans don't like another team or player, it just takes one idiot fan to say something 'racist' and then the whole fan base is suddenly 'racist'.
Redskins fans still call us 'racist' and 'horrible fans' because somewhere at some point some troll went on their forums or something and said something ignorant and racist about Sean Taylor.
I just prefer to refrain from that kind of nonsense, unless there's some kind of proof that the Green Bay fan base is predominantly racist?

Also, Hawknballs, your avatar is fantastic.

Whether it was thrown or simply dropped by fans leaning over, we won't know - but ask anyone and Seahawks fans are all classless trash who throw food at injured players. Because a couple popcorn kernels dropped onto his cart. Mainly because it was so easy to go online and read a few things and assume the worst.

Hard to top GB as they've sold out every game since the 1960's in one of the NFL's smallest markets. They are also #1 in social media popularity.
I am surprised that KC didn't make the list.
The Forbes rankings were based on the hometown crowd reach, social media reach based on the area's population and three years' worth of Nielsen television ratings, stadium capacity percentage and merchandise sales via NFLShop.com.

Of course GB would be #1 when 90% of a population of 100,000 citizens are into the football team.
DavidSeven":w2zhdq0l said:Top 4 fanbases (GB, DEN, NE, NO) have the 4 best QBs over the last 3 years (the sample period).
Gee, you think that might affect their TV ratings and their social media presence? How do you not notice that trend and try to account for it before publishing your results.
