It's worth mentioning that Penn State is joined on this list by some of the elite organizations in college and professional sports. Among the other teams considered to have the "worst fans in sports" were the Los Angeles Lakers (15), Dallas Cowboys (12), Montreal Canadiens (11), New York Yankees (9), Boston Red Sox (7), and Philadelphia Phillies (1, and the Eagles were ranked #2), as well as LSU football (10) and Duke basketball (8).
