Patriots Fans are Some of the Worst Fans in Sports

[JGMcD2]

I lived in Massachusetts for 4 years and I’ve know this for a long time, but my lord Patriots fans as a whole are extremely low class. 
 

I’m a huge Bills fan  but I work for a professional sports team so the whole obnoxious cheering and crap talking has been out of my toolbox for a few years now. I keep my mouth shut and try to soak in every aspect of the game... I enjoy that portion of it. Picking up the finer details and analyzing things in real time- it just comes with being a professional. Point being, I don’t invite being attacked.  
 

On ten separate occasions, TEN, I had people shoving and soliciting me to fight them. Ten different situations where it was 3-5 on 1 during my experience at Gillette with people attempting to fight me. I was appalled. I can MORE than handle myself but it’s not worth 25 to life for what the end result would have been. 
 

I’m just shocked... disgusted. The cops/security/game day staff seemingly turned a blind eye to it all. I know we have a bad reputation in  Buffalo but I’ve NEVER experienced situations like these.

Sorry dude.  That really sucks and yes those fans are MASSholes

[CLTbills]

I hate Massholes.

[Boatdrinks]

Dill holes 

[dubs]

Don’t worry. Next year these creature will forget about the Pats and just focus on the Sox and whatever other team is good that year. More than any other fan base, Patriots fans are the most bandwagon of all. They are a joke and a parody of themselves. I just laugh at them at this point.  

[RyanC883]

lowest football IQ fans of any team.  Total bandwagon fans, and a-holes.  

[Do The Reich Thing]

All of New England can eat my @$$ 

[ALLEN1QB]

All those Patriot fans are in for a rude awakening because that team is about to hit rock bottom.  Did you see the look on their faces when smoke was doing the touchdown dance?

[Jerome007]

The crowd today actually looked like a real crowd, I'll give'em that, instead of the usual jaded bloated crybabies that they can be.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Every time the camera panned to the crowd I felt worse about the state of the human race. Scumbag entitled bully #######s

every time they showed the crowd after a positive play for the Pats it looked like a scene from Doctor Sleep where they’re inhaling essence from a shiner.

Aw, you need a hug guy??

[DRA3196]

In college I had a roommate from Mass. He was a HUGE Sox fan and this was way before the patriots were any good. thank god. But he was all sox and Celtics and extremely annoying. I feel your pain. I noticed that there wasn't a big contingent of Bills fans at the stadium. I think I know why.

[JoPoy88]

Yeah I lived in Boston too - they’re certainly not my favorites. 

[wppete]

My first time in Boston. In general Bostonians are not friendly people and are aggressive people. Won’t be coming back here again. If I want to go to a big city with nice friendly people like Buffalo I’ll go to Toronto. A way better city then Boston.

My experiences at gillette have been exactly the same. It's the reason I'll never go to another game there (except for, maybe, a playoff game... maybe).

you are welcome any time in Toronto, just don’t talk about Game 6 and the Gretzky OT goal with the Kings....

I second this. I'm not looking for Kumbaya, but the Pats fans really do suck overall. (I live in New England.) You hear a lot of sexual references like "The Bills are our b**ch," including in front of kids. The culture of Boston/Eastern Massachusetts has some admirable qualities, but it appears to breed males who are insecure about their masculinity. Could be they're genetically.... how to this delicately?... under-endowed? Their crude insults smack of compensation. An anthropologist should do a study, talk to their poor wives and girlfriends, check the demand for penile-enhancement equipment in the area. Sad, if you think about it. The Pats are their Viagra. 

[BillnutinHouston]

I've seen Boston fans act horrifically at New Era Field and Key Bank Center.  Not sure why anyone would expect them to behave better in Boston.

[RaoulDuke79]

The fans may still be #######s, but you're going to start seeing less of them in the stadium over the next few years when the evil empire collapses.

[nkreed]

Since you were at the stadium, do you happen to know why there was booing before Morse was helped off the field in the fourth?

Because the vendors ran out of  White Claw I would presume. 

[Your Brown Eye]

I never understand why people think they will be greeted with candy canes and lollipops when they go to a big game versus a rival

In two years that stadium will be half empty after Billicheat and Marcia are gone.

Band wagon fans to the nth degree

Next time just ask them what their favorite Steve Grogan moment was.   They will freeze and you can make your way past them.

Jab one of them in the throat as hard as you can next time and watch them fall to the ground struggling for air. It'll shut them up.

That South Boston Slag that got caught dropping F-Bombs and flexing was great. 
 

 

NOOOO-MAAHHHRRR.

 

The Boston Fanbase can eat it.

Yes, I do. They were upset it was taking so long and we were driving. They thought Morse was hamming it up for us to stop the clock and they didn’t appreciate that. A few around me were yelling “roll him off the field!” 
 

The fans around me were so upset that the refs were “screwing them” because our player was obviously faking and they weren’t making us burn a timeout for the injury. 
 

I had to explain that there was 2:59 on the clock and you are only forced to use a timeout under 2 minutes.

Thank you for letting me know. That's what I thought, but I wasn't fully sure.

[Conlan58]

I was in section 112 for this game. While the general chatter around me lacked basic football knowledge, my wife and I never felt like people were being over the top. Sure, plenty of comments were made, harmless especially since some made me laugh at how uninformed some people were... curious to know which sections you guys were sitting in?

That’s fairly stunning ignorance, but I suppose it is not a surprise.

 

These would be the same people who think it is shameful that Edelman, having run an obvious pick, wasn’t gifted an illegal contact penalty and given a soothing drink and a cool rag for his brow as he lay on the field.

 

I do so hate the Pats*****(did I use enough?)

There is a difference between being greeted pleasantly and being challenged to a fight.

if you use too many asterisks, they start negating one another

Not really what is was getting at. 
 

There is a thing called being a decent human-being. I can deal with banter and the occasional chirps but when people are getting physical with you numerous times it’s an issue. 
 

I’ve been to 4 road games this season alone, including Pittsburgh and haven’t experienced 1 issue with opposing fans. 

[frogger]

their time is coming to an end, unfortunately because the Red Sox didn't do well, they have concentrated their efforts toward their football team.  But their time is coming to an end.

I lived in the Boston area for over 10 years and attended a few games at Foxboro and Gillette during that period.  The first were in the pre-Brady/Belichik era and the stadium was half-empty as others have said.  The last game was probably 7-8 years ago (the game Brandon Spikes knocked out Freddie with a cheap shot to the head).  I received dirty looks at each but nothing as overtly aggressive as the OP describes.  I attribute that to the Bills not being seen as a threat - more like "aw, how cute a Bills fan."  The Massholes now see the end is near and are acting out.

Rich/Ralph was barely 1/3 filled at the start of 4th quarters for many games pre-Kelly...

Yup, was there with my father for many of them.  We lived in OP.  He'd get home from church at 12:20pm, we'd leave the house at 12:30, park in the Pellien lot on California Road and still be in our seats before kickoff because there were no lines at the gates.
