The NFL’s Most Hated Teams : Dallas Cowboys – Green Bay Packers – Buccaneers
The NFL’s most hated teams earn their reputations for various reasons, whether it’s due to an opposition to a large and disagreeable fanbase, jealousy of a team’s success compared to a fan’s favorite, or even because of names people consider undeserving. Here’s a lift of the NFL’s most hated teams, according to a survey across all states from BetOnline.ag:
Dallas Cowboys
8 states agreed that they hate the Cowboys the most, making them the most hated team. The team garnered the nickname “America’s Team” due to a decision made in the creation of the Cowboys’ 1978 season highlight reel. According to Bob Ryan, NFL Films’ vice president at the time, he noticed that a lot of away fans wore Cowboys merch, attributing to the idea that the Cowboys are liked everywhere. The team has experienced massive success across the years. Well, nowadays, it seems like more people hate them than like them.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With 6 states saying that the Bucs are the most hated team, this is mainly because of Tom Brady signing with them. The Patriots were hated when he was on the team, and it’s moved along with him. While he hasn’t done anything morally or legally wrong, most fans probably want to see him fail more, considering the immense success he’s had against other teams that fans would probably rather have win.
I’m not used to the @Buccaneers being one of the most hated teams in the league but I’m cool with it. Bring it #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/HcEMfkVb22

Green Bay Packers
The Packers are tied with the Buccaneers for 6 states agreeing that they’re the most hated. The Packers have a strong fanbase that travels well for away games. Along with the team being a Super Bowl contender nearly every year since Brett Favre was under center in the 1990s, NFL fans have had enough of the green and gold. Similar to the Bucs, Aaron Rodgers’ success is something that fans wish their teams had with their quarterbacks.
Packers are my most hated team out of any sport by far. Met hundreds of closet fanatics, but yet to meet anyone from Wisconsin or has even been there for that matter. Rogers is a stink bag
