The term most frequently used to describe Knicks fans is \u201clong-suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Chicago sports talk radio host has a new suggestion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Knicks fans are the most obnoxious fans in American sports,\u201d Laurence Holmes declared to co-host Matt Spiegel on their 104.3 The Score afternoon show on Friday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rich take coming from Chicago, a city whose NBA team caused the Knicks fan so much pain in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Bulls haven\u2019t been back to the NBA Finals since the last of Michael Jordan\u2019s six titles in 1998 and are in the thick of irrelevancy, so they are doing some suffering of their own.<\/p>\n

Spiegel immediately disagreed with Holmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, I don\u2019t believe that\u2019s true,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Spiegel suggested MLB\u2019s Cardinals for the title of \u201cmost obnoxious,\u201d which makes sense given the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe St. Louis Cardinals actually have some jewelry of recent vintage that backs some of their piety,\u201d Holmes said. \u201cBut, Knicks fans, y\u2019all ain\u2019t won nothing since the Ford administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holmes said \u201cgood\u201d when told that the Knicks had more losses than any NBA team in the 21st Century entering the 2021 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping for four more,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Perhaps sensing that he was making headlines \u2013 like this one \u2013 in New York, Holmes said, \u201cI cannot wait for this to be played on WFAN when they lose in six (games).\u201d<\/p>\n

The whole cast of the program then broke into what sounded like Joe Beningo imitations, mentioning how their program once borrowed WFAN studios for some reason.<\/p>\n

Finally, the show\u2019s producer mentioned the Cowboys, who certainly would be a popular choice in a poll of the most-obnoxious fan given their moniker of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team\u201d and their Bulls-esque drought of no championships since 1995. Yankees fans might place ahead of Knicks fans, too.<\/p>\n
