These are the most obnoxious fan bases in sports (and pop culture)

Some MLB owners are ready to pick a fight with other MLB owners that they’ll take out on the players and fans

For as much worship as billionaires seem to get around here, and the runway they receive to shape our society to benefit them more and more, they are a cranky bunch.
