Arizona Cardinals

You come out in droves when your Arizona Cardinals are good. But when they’re bad — like now — you can’t disappear into the shadows quickly enough.

That’s right, Cardinals fans. An Emory University study (h/t Sean Wagner-McGough of CBS Sports) ranked Arizona’s fan base as the biggest bandwagon group in the entire NFL.

Maybe it has something to do with the greater Phoenix area being a relocation destination, where die-hard fan bases typically struggle to grow. Heck, we’ve seen similar things just down the road with baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks. When they’re good, it’s packed. When they’re not, well…

You gotta support your team even when they’re down, Cardinals fans.
