Which sport has the most insufferable fans in Britain — rank them from bad to absolutely unbearable?
Every sport has its devotees, but some fanbases take tribal loyalty to truly eye-watering extremes. Whether it's the smugness, the chanting, or the relentless social media posting, rank these lot from mildly annoying to genuinely insufferable.
Put the items in your preferred order.
1
Football
From 'It's coming home' every two years to grown men weeping over a penalty shootout, football fans have turned suffering into a personality. And yet somehow they still think everyone else cares about their club's injury updates.
2
Golf
Golf fans have perfected the art of being insufferable while barely making a sound. Nothing quite like a bloke in chinos telling you Augusta is a 'spiritual experience' over a warm Pimm's.
3
Rugby Union
Rugby Union fans will remind you within three minutes that they once played to a decent level, actually. The tribalism might be gentler than football but the smugness more than compensates.
4
Formula One
Since Netflix arrived, F1 has spawned a new breed of fan who discovered the sport in 2019 and now explains tyre degradation to people who've watched since Schumacher. Bless them.
5
Cricket
Cricket fans possess an almost supernatural ability to make you feel intellectually inferior for not appreciating a maiden over. The Ashes brings out a particular brand of genteel yet deeply condescending passion.
