They've won a few Super Bowls yet nobody ever seems to like them. They just don't get the following like other winning teams.

It's because of these reasons:
1). The Patriots are NOT a dominant team in terms of the comparison of other Superbowl Teams (Steelers, Green Bay, Dallas, Raiders,49ers) although Patriot Fans are desperate to compare themselves to them, and to be accepted by American Football Fans
2). People feel that the Raiders were robbed from the "Tuck Rule Game", and the Patriots would have never gone to a Superbowl
3) People feel that the game above with the Raiders was "fixed" because of September 11, 2001 and the team name "Patriots"
4). The Patriot Fans are Obnoxious and Annoying to America, and they talk "funny". (they have trouble pronouncing the letter "R" in their vocabulary)...Their Fans seem to brag AFTER they win, they never brag BEFORE a Game, like everyone else. People view this as being a SNEAKY or a DISHONEST Fan or Fans that are UNSURE of their Team! If you don't believe this, if they beat the Colts, watch this Website get flooded with their Fans when they did not come out before or during the game!!
The Patriots will go down in History as a Team with a Great QB and Head Coach, but no Superstar Hall of Famers (except Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick)
NOTE: I do respect the Patriots and I do think that they ARE a Dynasty....They should be given credit for what they have accomplished during The Free Agent Era, which is almost impossible to do!!
I hope this Answers your Question.....

*puts on Captain Obvious cape* Probably because they're the New England Patriots, and everyone tends to like their own home team.
New England is also kind of sparsely populated compared to say, New York or Texas, so other teams like the Giants and the Cowboys probably just have bigger fan bases.

I'm a female from New England, and I WOULD root for the Pats except for the fact that I can't STAND Robert Kraft.

I'm not from new england.. I don't hate the pats but I don't like em that much. The reason why is they aren't very good like the best team for AFC but they always come out on top... Its weird.

People get tired of a team that wins constantly. That is life. They had the bandwagon following when it started. Then it went on and people got tired of it. Although another part is that they are nobodys. Most people don't like that.

Randy Orton is a large heel. straightforward as that... human beings hate his character using fact of what he has been doing in recent times. Dragon[uncooked] does make a large factor nonetheless. he's enjoying this "sketch character"-ish villain that's no longer probable possible. And the incontrovertible fact that he hasn't been punished (legally) for what he's "finished"...makes the storyline that relatively greater far-fetched. So possibly hence some human beings dislike him....or greater, his character. even though it is not Orton I blame for that. Dragon[uncooked] did point out something approximately Randy 'insulting his intelligence', and mutually as I appreciate his opinion; i do no longer probable trust it. If there is every physique answerable for "insulting our intelligence", that must be Vince McMahon and his writers. yet as long as this tale-line keeps, so will this insane character named Randy Orton!
