The highlight of the week in football may have been the release of the results of a scientific study regarding 2018\u2019s best and worst fans of NFL teams. Its brief buzz sparked\u00a0reactions since from the two fan bases considered the worst that proved to be spectacularly typical. Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> fans, said to be ‘angry’ by their local media, along with players openly put those responsible on blast. In contrast,\u00a0Los Angeles Rams<\/a> fans don\u2019t care about studies by outsiders and made little noise while players\u00a0gave it no recognition or credence.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams Fans Aren’t Concerned With Studies<\/h2>\n

Rams fans were given yet another reason why they should feel bad, be embarrassed, or even shamed into hiding for loving a team that doesn’t get the support it deserves. Well, nobody’s slitting their wrists as yet. This is, after all (excluding government these days), the drama capital of the country. In addition, accepting what others can’t understand or choose to ignore is a bit of a way of life in these parts.<\/p>\n

When people outside of Los Angeles think of the city, they aren’t thinking Rams first. They don’t think Dodgers<\/a> or Lakers<\/a> first either. They’re thinking Disneyland, the beaches, Hollywood (and all its glory) and more. Lots more. The ones that can’t visit often enough get jealous of these beaches, the weather and celebrities sightings, etcetera.<\/p>\n

This is why as many as able come to Los Angeles and other parts of California. You can’t beat it, join and become a part of it. People do, and from all over the globe.\u00a0New England, Philadelphia, even Dallas can’t match up to Los Angeles this way. A\u00a0moderate portion of current Rams fans have no invested emotional history with the team and, therefore, have no dogs in any ‘best fans’ hunt.<\/p>\n

Why would anyone ever expect a city like Los Angeles to be at or near the top of some study about fan loyalty? Even core fan bases in southern California \u2014 the loyal die-hards \u2014 that wholeheartedly support their teams have more to do in Los Angeles during the off-season than the New England Patriots<\/a> fan base did during the height of their team’s championship run. Go <\/em>study that<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs Players and Fans React<\/h3>\n

Some Chiefs fans were “angry,” as described by local media and local personalities. At least a couple of Chiefs players also voiced opinions, including their superstar quarterback,\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
