Why are Oakland Raider fans so ghetto?

The reason why so many people hate the Steelers is because there are so many people that love them. They are a great organization with stable ownership and coaches.\nThey do not follow any trends,fashions,or fads of the NFL\nAlso, they are about to win more superbowls than any other team in the league. Basically they are a meat and potatoes football team.

I don't think that a bias necessarily exists within the media, but among fans I believe there sure are a lot of Cowboys haters.  There are several reasons for this.  For one, there is a little bit of jealousy for "America's Team".  These feelings are still carrying over from their dynasty in the 90's (and even the 70s).  Also, the organization has had many abrasive characters:  owner Jerry Jones, the Tuna, ex-stars such as Michael Irvin, and the myriad of criminals and druggies they've paraded through in the last 10/15 years.  As with any great sports organization, fans are very polarized... you either love 'em or hate 'em.  I love 'em, but conversely I despise great competing teams such as the Steelers and 49ers.  Some in the media may have their beef with Jerry Jones or other people in the organization, but I think the strong anti-Dallas emotion is mainly among the fans (which is a tribute to the Cowboys being one of the top teams in the sport).

Because for SOME UNGODLY REASON, cowboy fans always think that their team is better than it actually is.  TO is NOT gonna make all that much of a difference, especially when they still got old lame ass drew bledsoe throwing the ball.  MOST of the East has better talent than they do, Parcells is yet a year older and has lost some of his spunk.\n\nI totally agree with you, and cowboy fans need to WAKE UP and realize that just because you signed ONE good reciever does NOT entitle you to the superbowl, it's a TEAM effort.\n\nI HATE THE COWBOYS WITH A PASSION

inconsistent is worse for the fans.  horrible teams sometimes have great fans, but an inconsistent team will draw rage.  especially if they were good at some point in the recent past.

Because they're not a very good football team.  Saw them play in Pittsburgh (didn't see them otherwise this year) incredibly unimpressivly and can't figure out why they were being so talked up.  With the division they were in and the schedule, did they beat any teams with a winning record?

They get a ton of respect. Almost everyone I know is a staunch Pistons fan. Race has nothing to do with this. They get the recognition they deserve. Perhaps it's where you live that doesn't mention the Pistons too much.

It has to be the Eagles fan. When Michael Irvin was laying on the ground in what resulted in a career ending injury, the fans were cheering. And in another game against my beloved Cowboys, they were throwing snowballs with batteries in them at the players. Their fans have no class.

Buffalo, home of my Buffalo Bills! The city (and surrounding region) lives and dies with the fortunes of their football team like no other in sports. Why? Likely because there isn't much else holding the WNY area together. The only other (legitimate) major league sports franchise is my Buffalo Sabres and hockey isn't as popular as football, not even that close to the Canadian border. Buffalonians LOVE their sports teams and are as knowledgeable and supportive as ANY fans in the country, far more so than most.\n\nThe worst football city -- and the worst sports, cultural or any other category of city -- is dread philadelphia. Their so-called fans are the most uncivilized, hostile and mean-spirited around (dishonourable mentions go to Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Oakland and Dallas). Why? Because philadelphians are philistines (the city's name should be changed to Philistinia; in fact, I shall make the change immediately) of the lowest order. Piltdown man is ever-present at eagles, flyers, 76ers and phillies games and every sport suffers for their very existence. \n\nYou're most welcome, Moon. Thank you for asking! :)

Because they are passionate about LSU football.  Also, many stadiums try to get the acoustics just right so they are louder; thereby intimidating the other team and not allowing their calls to be heard.

The Raiders are in one of those famous (and for the fans -frustrating) "rebuilding years". This team was ranked 32nd. out of 32 for most of the first half and was the joke of the NFL. Suddenly they are showing some real "Raider" class and they are NOT laying down but showing up for every game. They have had some excellent defensive efforts lately and yes their record could be better (NOT 7-4 under ANY circumstances!) but with luck, 5-6 maybe.\n\nThis is a team that shows real promise for the future. You put a real offense in there and watch out. (yeah, and get rid of Moss, this team needs TEAM players at this point...) This is definitely a team which is suddenly just a few good players short of real contention. I'm not a rabid Raider's fan, but I like to see them in the hunt, what's the NFL without the Evil Black and Silver?\n\n(We all rave about the Manning dynasty, father and two brothers, but has anyone noticed the Defensive Coordinator dynasty, the Ryans? Father - Buddy Ryan, DC of the 1985 SB Bears, one of the best defenses in NFL history, son Rob Ryan, DC of the mighty Ravens (who shutout, shut down and stomped the Steelers yestersday) and his brother Rex, now DC of the suddenly respectable Oakland Defense? How spooky is that?)
