Which sport has the most knowledgeable fans?

oldgoldy97 · 08-18-2025, 07:40 AM

Every sub forum has their members who will argue till the cows come home, stand on any hill, never back down, move the goalposts infinitely, cock off about subjects they have little to no experience with. Which one is the worst?

I have the most ignored members from the baseball forum...

Baseball and it's not close

None of the other sports have a "tradition" of "keeping their own score sheets"

I went with non sports , it seems to have the least amount of arrogant true collectors in it and very knowledgeable of odd ball items or popular items and not involved in a pissing contest

corndog · 08-18-2025, 12:18 PM

Baseball

There are a few that believe nobody played prior to Barry Bonds or Shohei.

coltsnsox07 · 08-18-2025, 12:51 PM

To add a caveat, 'Older baseball fans', the ones who didn't need a pitch clock to enjoy the game while scoring it in their program. And to whom, WAR was just a band who played 'Lowrider' and 'Why Can't We Be Friends'.

The last option.

Seahawks fan · 08-18-2025, 10:03 PM

I voted Baseball

WWE fans would be the lowest on the list imo/most casual. But independent wrestling fans are scary knowledgeable about every random promotion every wrestler has ever dabbled in and every name/gimmick they have gone by.

majestik101 · 08-19-2025, 02:29 AM

Baseball. And it's not even close.

Even those weenie little d!ckheads who bring scorecards and their little pencil to games probably still play Strat-O-Matic

We get it, you're a baseball nerd. Does your mommy still cut the crust off your PB&J sammiches too?

The worst.

Hess687 · 08-19-2025, 05:48 AM

Formula 1 fans would blow baseball fans out of the water.

They won't just talk about the driver and their background, they'll go into detail about the car, talking about the discombobulator, aerodynamics, tread wear on tires, the doo hickey and all the engineering that goes behind making the car run and why this engine built with this heavy duty motor is slightly better than this whatcha-ma-callit.

I don't understand 99% of the stuff they are talking about.

It’s easily Hockey. It’s not even close

People are too focused on the NHL

The Hockey world overall? Knows way more than any of us dummies in the US

The answer is, and always will be, baseball.

Not really, it's just that I don't want to hear an hour-long dissertation about WAR vs. fWAR vs. bWAR vs. WARP or how the Designated Hitter rule has ruined the game. These nut-jobs suck the joy out of the sport.
