Well, gosh! Jaguars fanbase found to be most polite in NFL
Jacksonville Jaguars fans are used to seeing their team at the bottom of national rankings, but finishing dead last in a recent poll might not be such a bad thing.
The poll, by njbet.com ranked the rudest fans in the National Football League. The Jaguars finished 32nd out of 32 teams, meaning nobody in the NFL is more polite than a Jags fan.
Philadelphia Eagles fans were found to be the most rude, followed by those of the Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The company surveyed 1,150 NFL fans in November, asking which NFL players, coaches and fanbases are the rudest and most easily offended.
Jaguars fans were found to be the nicest folks in the entire league. The rudest behavior listed for Jag fans is heckling too much.
The division the team plays in, the AFC South, was by far the most polite in the league. The Tennessee Titans, whose fans allegedly start fights, have the rudest fans in the division, but were still ranked 23rd overall. The Indianapolis Colts finished 29th and the Houston Texans were 31st because their fans “drink too much,” according to the poll.
The poll found that the rudest in-stadium behaviors were “standing up/blocking view” and “getting drunk,” both cited by at least half of the respondents.
The same five teams found to have the rudest fans (Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Dallas, New England and Pittsburgh) were also found to have fans with the thinnest skins, unable to handle criticism. The poll didn’t show where Jaguars fans finished in that survey. The Patriots’ Bill Belichick and the Buccaneers’ Tom Brady were found to be the thinnest-skin coach and player, respectively.
This comes just a few months after another poll found that Jacksonville is the third-most foul-mouthed city in America and another that listed Jaxson De Ville as the 23rd most lovable mascot in the league. It also came on the same day that zero players on the surging Jaguars team were named to the NFL Pro Bowl.
The Jaguars, who still have a shot at winning the AFC South and making the playoffs, take the field Thursday night against the New York Jets in a nationally televised Prime Video game.
