Cleveland Browns fans will not be surprised by this news whatsoever.
OLBG conducted an analysis of the most supportive fans among the following professional sports: football, baseball, basketball, and hockey.
The analysis looked at attendance at home games, ticket resale costs, and the team’s social media number of Instagram followers.
From that, a list was generated, and the Browns were among the top football teams with the most passionate fanbases.
How The Browns Ranked
The Browns were ranked number 10 among all sports.
The top three teams on the list were the Golden State Warriors (NBA), the New England Patriots, and the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) and Chicago Blackhawks (NHL) were tied for third.
The top-ranked NFL teams were as follows:
- New England Patriots (number 2 overall)

If you are wondering how the rest of the AFC North fared in the rankings, here is a list.
- Baltimore Ravens (number 26 overall)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (number 75 overall)
- Cincinnati Bengals (number 88 overall)
There were 121 teams that comprised the list so the defending AFC Champion Bengals are in the lower third, but that will likely change after their successful 2021 season.
