Hygiene and superstitions don’t really mix well.
Just ask Las Vegas Raiders fans. They know more than anybody. Not only is their team shit, but they also smell like shit.
If the Raiders keep losing we’re going to have to send them to Reno

This is according to a new survey by BonusFinder, which surveyed 1,000 sports fans across the United States to figure out what the most popular superstitions are. BonusFinder — in all its glory — also polled fans about their underwear superstitions, and exposed who the nastiest NFL fans are so we can stay the hell away from them.
Thank you, BonusFinder. Thank you.
Here are the three biggest takeaways from their survey:
- With Raiders fans, nearly 60% admitted to refraining from washing their underwear (fucking gross!)
- To make it even nastier for us men: Women are more likely to partake in this superstition than we are
- Cling on to your Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts friends: They’re clean (ALL of them)
And here is BonusFinder’s complete Top 10 grossest fan bases in the National Football League:
- Las Vegas Raiders: 57.14% (of fans leave underwear unwashed due to superstition)
- Minnesota Vikings: 50%
- Jacksonville Jaguars: 40%
- Kansas City Chiefs: 37.5%
- Denver Broncos: 35%
- Atlanta Falcons: 32.39%
- Carolina Panthers: 29.69%
- Arizona Cardinals: 27.94%
- Miami Dolphins: 27.27%
- Chicago Bears: 24.17%
It’s actually a bit surprising to see two Florida teams on the list (Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins) with the heat and humidity in the Sunshine State. Plus, smelling like pure garbage has got to be attracting some serious bug attention — it gets cold everywhere else (including Vegas in the autumn and winter), so I get the ambition, even though it obviously doesn’t work.

Regardless, there’s a lot of nasty-ass people out here.
Although the passion for sports is appreciated.
…still nasty though.
