Can you give a "LEGIT" reason as to why you dislike that certain NFL team so much?

Question

I'm only asking because a lot of you seem to be bandwagon haters that don't have a clue as to why you "so called" dislike certain teams.

I promise to award 5 stars and 10 points to the most mature and reasonable answer.

So who is that one NFL team you don't like and give a solid reason for it.

All very good answers and not childish ones.

Answer 1

The Philadelphia Eagles.
Their fans have been given the title the worst in sports.
Their old stadium had a jail and in house judge.
They had a player named Andre Waters that was known for spearing players and dirty play.
They speared Troy Aikman in the back during the Cowboys 1-15 season that caused him to have disk surgery.
They booed and threw snow balls at Santa Claus.
They booed Michael Irvin when he broke a bone in his neck with tears in his eyes.
They are sore losers during home loses.

Answer 2

The only legitimate reason to hate another team is if they are the primary rival of your favorite team.

As a Giants fan, I detest the Cowboys. Mostly because, outside of the LT years, they have handed us our a$$es on a yearly basis.

It doesn't help when a team is overhyped and advertised everywhere and lead the nation in band wagon fans.

As far as bandwagon haters, like everyone coming out of the woodwork to hate on the Patriots - that is not legitimate. The NFL has conditioned us in their attempts to make sure no NFL team can maintain a dynasty anymore, and the Pats are the closest thing to it now (since the 92-95 Cowboys).

Answer 3

I don't like the Denver Broncos because of their fans and "classy" organization. I'm a huge Jake Plummer fan and was absolutely disgusted with the way that organization and the FANS just completely turned on him last season and pretty much forced him into retirement. In 2005 Jake Plummer was a GOD in Denver, he only threw 7 interceptions in the entire season, took Denver to a 13-3 record (undefeated at home), and led them to the AFC championship where the TEAM fell apart. We all know the quarterback gets all the blame no matter what but they literally threw it all on his shoulders, yeah he fumbled 4 times but what did the defense to to stop Pittsburgh's offense? How productive were Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell on the ground? How many times would Plummer have fumbled had the offensive line given him more than 2 seconds to find an open receiver? Whatever, come draft time Shannahan uses his first pick on a kid named Jay Cutler out of Vanderbilt. Plummer begins the season as the starter and begins the march once again putting the team on the path to a playoff berth... once again he is a hero in Denver. A few things go wrong and Plummer has a couple bad games (against really good teams), suddenly the fans turn on him again and Shannahan benches him and starts a ROOKIE when they are still in playoff contention. Denver then decided to trade Plummer to Tampa Bay where he didn't want to play in which resulted in his retirement when he was still in his prime.

So that is my reason for hating the Denver Broncos. The fans are entirely too fickle with absolutely NO loyalty to anyone, and they basically forced one of my favorite players into retirement. That is my story... F*CK DENVER!!!

Answer 4

The only team that I have constantly hated throughout my entire time as a football fan has been the 49ers. That's because I'm a Cowboys fan. I always hated facing them, because they were the one team I was never sure how the game was going to end. It's different right now, because the 49ers are in the dump, but I know they will be back sooner or later.

Answer 5

The Dallas Cowboys (close 2nd are Steelers/Redskins)

Dallas Cowboy fans are EVERYWHERE. It seems as if every other NFL fan I come across is a Cowboy fan. I live in an NFL city (Charlotte - Carolina Panthers), and there is STILL an abundance of Cowboy fans here.

They love to harp on and on and on about their past.

The Cowboys have a large subset of bandwagon fans. When the team has bad seasons I seem to notice a significant reduction in the number of people wearing their apparel.

Answer 6

The RAIDERS!!!!!!

Im a OG 49ers fan and a HUGE chargers fan....my first ever game was chargers vs raiders and i jsut HATE there fans.....they act like A Holes and think there team is the best even when they are 2-7 ...Plus when the raiders paly at qualcomm stadium (chargers home field) there fans are so obnoxious and idiotic they actually cut off the alcohol early so the idiot raiders fans wont be drunk and cause problems

On top of that it seems like whenever im driving around so cal im getting cut off or almost hit by some douchebag raiders fan with there raider nation stickers on there trucks just promoting how much they love this crappy team......Them leaving LA is the best thing that could have happend ive never liked them and LA is my hometown

Raider SUCK GO CHARGERS!!!!!

Answer 7

I dislike the Patriots more than any other team in the league, for the following reasons:

1. Bill Belichek seems to be the most arrogant human on Earth and seems to forget his failures as a Browns coach.
2. Their fan base seems to be pretty darn arrogant as well seeming to think that the AFC Pro Bowl should just be New England Patriots and that no other team has any players better than their pine riders.
3. Tom Brady never throws a bad pass
4. They beat my Steelers twice in AFC Championship games.

Answer 8

I live in Texas and I hate the Dallas Cowboys because when i was younger my Dad and my brothers would always rub it in my face when Green Bay would lose to them in the playoffs. Now i hate that they have so many bandwagon fans. They walk around wearing their T.O. jersey but he's the only one they can name on the roster. And the media is so biased toward them too. After last year when they made the playoffs for the first time in like 10 years everyone got off the Patriots bandwagon and back onto Dallas'. Now the "America's Team" label has come back to them. It's very hypocritical and annoying.
NOV. 29TH GO PACK GO!!!

Answer 9

as a homegrown 9ers fan, youre supposed to hate the cowboys since they were our biggest rivals in the 80s-90s. and youre supposed to hate the pack since favre always killed the 9ers. however the one team i hate the most are the cardinals. they are our divisional rival first of all, and i division games are the most important games. but i also hate them because they always say theyre going to be good, this is our break out year, watch out for the cardinals, but every year they suck. they were supposed to have a breakout year 5 years ago. i cant stand them or their bandwagon fans. you look at their stadium now, its pretty full, but where were they before then? before the new stadium was built?

Answer 10

Certain players on teams make me hate the team they either play for or they once played for. For example, I live in Tampa, but I don't like Tampa Bay, all because of Warren Sapp. A few years ago, before I got stationed here, that one player did something I didn't like. Don't remember what it was, but that made me not like the team. Every game they play, I root for the other team.
I also don't like any team another player plays for. He is a back up QB now. Him and a girl I really liked, they dated in college, and with that, any team he plays for, I am against.


As far as any other teams, I will be against them if they are in the same division/conference my team is in, just so I can hope my team stays on top.
