be forewarned things are about to get
wild welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 craziest fan bases in North
American sports for this list
we’re not exactly looking for the most
devoted fans the first thing you look at
is there’s no owner so a lot of fans
consider themselves owners and
personally invested a lot of more
personally invested in the team loyalty
is important but we’re focusing more on
fan bases that take their passion to
crazy heights we’re talking bad behavior
rioting and everything in between number
10 the city of Boston where do the Sox
rank in terms of importance in your life
I say Red Sox sex and breathe it many
cities tend to focus their fandom on one
team either because they only have one
team to root for or because one team
dominates the popularity contests Boston
is not one of those cities
Bostonians back three wicked good teams
with equal enthusiasm and craziness at
Bruins games they’re rowdy and loud
embodying Boston’s tough blue-collar
attitude this guy’s been one of the
stars of the game so far tonight the Red
Sox Phil Fenway Park with their faithful
who grow beards sing and trash talk
fever pitch style
hey yo ed what if bad that spotlight off
fall and let’s not forget Celtics fans a
rich history with Larry Bird Paul Pierce
and Kevin Garnett has them screaming
beantown fans have garnered a reputation
with outsiders as obnoxious and rude but
do you really think a single Bostonian
cares no not really
number 9 Duke University basketball
there’s the pass to Laettner puts it up
one of the perks of being a college
sports team is that each year you get a
fresh batch of fans entering that stage
life known as college wear crazy
behavior is to be expected Duke’s fans
the Cameron Crazies are no different in
that regard but they do stand out and
that their students are extremely well
organized in both their cheering and
jeering the crazies notoriously
distribute cheat sheets to their fans
which include chants personalised for
opponents
they’ve poked fun at opposing players
wait throwing Twinkies at Georgia Tech’s
Dennis Scott and even took on the
Washington Post after they were the
target of criticism oh and they also
invented the air ball chant back in 1979
number eight the Seattle Seahawks
everyone knows the twelfth man okay well
even if you don’t know these Seahawks
fans you can certainly hear them
the pride of Seattle the Seahawks have
only recently risen to prominence in the
NFL but their fans have been at the top
of their game for some time they’re
known for being loud really loud they’re
the reason the NFL has implemented a
noise rule which they never follow and
they’ve set the Guinness world record
for crowd noise twice seismologists have
noted that fans at CenturyLink Field
even caused small earthquakes notably
Marshawn Lynch’s famous Beast quake in
2011 these fans truly give the Seahawks
an advantage against opponents earning
them their nickname as the 12th man well
visited the number-2 lifestyle
number seven the Chicago Cubs there was
one sign of the apocalypse last night
the Cubs want a playoff game it takes a
certain amount of crazy to support a
team as disappointing as the Cubs these
fans stick by their team despite no
World Series wins since 1908 fans truly
believe this is a result of the curse of
the Billy Goat apparently placed on the
team back in the 1945 World Series by a
disgruntled fan you are never going to
win the World Series again because you
insulted my goal attempts have been made
to break the curse organized at the
lowest levels by fans to the highest
levels by the Cubs organization but
clearly none has been successful who’s
that guy not celebrating kick came out
of here you kick him out of here I don’t
care if he has to take it you get out of
here right now
no no you get out and good riddance
somehow the Cubs still have a huge fan
base as during most of the early 2000s
fans would fill Wrigley Field almost to
capacity
it seems losers are in fact lovable what
in the devil are you gonna do if they
win at all oh my god I bet some probably
die number 6 the Vancouver Canucks
if you hail from the great white north
you’ve likely been pegged as too nice
and too polite that may be true for many
Canadians but it simply does not apply
to Vancouver Canucks fans these diehards
are known for violent hooligan style
rioting the reason for all of this chaos
a hockey game after losing to the
Rangers in Game seven of the 1994
Stanley Cup Finals Canucks fans took to
the streets of Vancouver injuring 200
people and causing 1.1 million dollars
in damages they started a fire tear gas
to move the crowd back
they eventually forced the crowd back to
the courts and Bute and at that point
the crowd started to come back towards
the police began challenging them the
next time they reached the finals in
2011 fans stormed Vancouver once again
after a game seven lost to the Bruins
causing 140 injuries and an estimated
five million dollars in damages so we’re
seeing history repeat itself in a very
unfortunate way very disappointing
spectacle on a more positive note the
high jinks caused by unofficial mascots
for sin Sully the green men were a joy
to watch you can get into players head
and just screw with them a little bit
you can knock them out of that zone it’s
hard to get back in there number five
the Pittsburgh Steelers it’s a boy
Pittsburgh sports fans are some of the
best their loyalty is unquestionable as
they’ve recorded 299 consecutive sellout
games
[Applause]
Steeler Nation introduced the world to
the Terrible Towel which rallies the
team in a beautiful yellow wave this
year we’ve had a revival of the Terrible
Towel that Terrible Towel is poised to
strike so are the Steeler
it’s become such a phenomenon that it’s
even summited Mount Everest and traveled
into space here for the International
Space Station it’s it’s dealers country
coast dealers and good luck in pursuit
of your six Super Bowl ring fans come
from all over as the decline of the
steel industry saw supporters spread out
across the country still they never
abandoned their team giving the Steelers
incredible support at away games at one
point the entire us loved the Steelers
as Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa song
black and yellow reached the top of the
charts in 2010
I put it down from
Commons I will a PLO
number four the San Francisco 49ers
San Fran might be known as a hub for
hipsters and coffee aficionados but in
the sporting world the Golden Gate City
is known for having some of the wildest
football fans in the country when it
comes to watching their gang on the
gridiron Niners nation gets rowdy very
rowdy these fans have reached legendary
status for their crowd brawls which
stopped shocking us a long time ago
last season multiple fans were arrested
for assault and caused linea
hospitalization including when a 49ers
fan knocked out a fellow 49ers fan
causing brain damage and paralysis the
Niners seem to have a rivalry with
everyone in the NFL which fans use as an
excuse to fight they fight Vikings fans
Cardinals fans Raiders fans well you get
the point number three the Montreal
Canadiens
we’ve already mentioned the nice guy
image those up north tend to wear like a
badge of honor
but like Canucks fans the Habs faithful
don’t fall into that category they have
a history of rioting dating back to 1955
when star player Maurice Rashard was
suspended for the remainder of that
season and the playoffs it sparked a
politically motivated riot at the old
forum causing an estimated $100,000 in
property damages 37 injuries and 100
arrests since then Canadiens fans have
established a reputation for strangely
enough riding after big wins not losses
there was a riot after their 86 Stanley
Cup win the o8 riot after a first round
win over Boston and most famous of all
the riot after the 93 win causing 25
million dollars in damages
number two the city of Philadelphia
between the successful Phillies flyers
and Eagles Philly fans have room to
spread their crazy and their passion is
one manifested in both jeers and
violence on the softer side
they’ve booed Sarah Palin in front of
two of her daughters
and assaulted the Dallas Cowboys with a
hailing of snowballs I can tell you what
a joy it is to come to Philadelphia and
stand here in Dodge
ice ball on the darker side they’ve
thrown batteries at a Cardinals player
prostituted themselves for tickets and
had a fan hop in the penalty box to
brawl with hockey player Tie Domi
there’s Kevin Collins epic challenge may
have gotten the worst of that but tight
dough Mia got some shots in at one point
crowds at Eagles games had proven so bad
that the organization built a courtroom
and a jail and even brought in a judge –
the former veterans stadium establishing
the famous Eagles Court no doubt about
it
these fans show no brotherly love before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions for first place
wait please please maybe we’ve got our
first place yeah that guy’s an idiot
though because to do it during the play
somebody can easily ya get hurt the
Securities chase him Oh chasing a moat I
hope they grab them up on the concourse
number one the Oakland Raiders to be
part of the black hole it’s either in
your blood or it’s not it’s in my blood
it should surprise no one that Raider
Nation takes our top spot because really
there isn’t a fan base in North America
that can compete with the sheer insanity
of these faithful when it comes to
Raider games there’s no fan too young
too old or too casual to dress up in
full silver and black regalia opposing
fans and players fear the Raiders black
hole as the end zone and OCO Coliseum
consists of the most aggressive abusive
fans in football not confined to the
cities of Oakland or Los Angeles Raider
nation’s proud statuses working-class
fans spread throughout the country in
the late 80s and early 90s when rap
group NWA donned team gear ensuring
Raider craziness now reaches every
corner of America my first impression of
Oakland Raiders was that they were
violent and they were a little rough
around the edges and I think that’s what
I liked about do you agree with our list
which fans do you think are the craziest
in North America for more fascinating
top 10s published every day be sure to
subscribe to watchmojo.com I’m super
excited oh yeah
