New study ranks Jacksonville Jaguars fans way too low at number 29

It’s nothing new, but Jacksonville Jaguars fans continue to be severely undervalued.

If you are reading this right now, there is a strong chance you yourself cheer for the Jacksonville Jaguars. With that, you are probably all too familiar as well with the outdated and ignorant jokes about Jaguars fans, or a perceived lack thereof, that have been uttered over the years.

Before last season, the product on the field had not been successful for nearly a decade, so less than flattering remarks about the team had sadly been painfully true in most cases. But one thing that never made sense is how Jacksonville’s fan base has been burdened with an unfair and relentless attack on its level of support for the home team.

Now, even after one of the most triumphant seasons in franchise history in 2017, the support from fans of the black and teal continues to be criminally underappreciated. Yahoo Sports posted an article on a study of the best fans in the NFL, and the Jaguars check in at number 29.

The study’s metrics focus mainly on three factors: fan equity, social equity, and road equity. Using those variables, Jacksonville was placed above only three teams.

Frankly, studies can use whatever calculations they think give an accurate depiction of the best and worst fan bases, but the fact remains that Jaguars fans are once again way too low on the list.
