Every fanbase has loyal fans and disloyal fans.
But which fanbase is the most loyal? That would be ‘Who Dey’ Nation
A recent study conducted by Canada Sports Betting found that the Cincinnati Bengals were the most ‘loyal’ fanbase in the NFL while the Cleveland Browns were the least loyal fanbase in the NFL.
The study looked at 500 keywords related to each team over the last three years and was split into different categories such as merchandise, players, stadiums, and more. From there, the group delineated ever further by each state to find which fans could be more diehard.
Bengals keywords saw an average rise of 80 percent in volume year-after-year. The consistent rise in interested search, greater than any of the other NFL teams, led the to the conclusion that Bengals fans are highly interested and remain interested in the team.
“It’s impressive that the Cincinnati Bengals have managed to maintain their fans’ interest in their performance, but that it’s seen such a significant year-on-year increase—they’re doing something right to captivate and keep their audience’s attention,” a spokesperson said.
One of the Bengals’ biggest rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, also saw a rise in fan dedication, but not a value close to the Cincinnati Bengals.
On the other hand, the other Ohio team, the Cleveland Browns, had a drop of 34% each year which was the biggest for any team.
