Announcing the FanSided Fandom 250; the fan-powered network’s inaugural ranking of the world’s 250 best fandoms.

FanSided, our parent company is releasing their inaugural top-250 fan bases known as the Fandom 250.  As of today, we are proud to announce that Fantasy Football fans have been nominated as part of the Fandom 250 and with the passion and dedication that fantasy owners throughout the world exhibit each week, it is no wonder that we have been nominated for these rankings!

For those of you unfamiliar with the Fandom 250 rankings, please see an excerpt below from the official FanSided press release:

FanSided today announced that on December 6, 2016, it will release a ranking of what it considers the best 250 fandoms in the world. The ranking will appear on FanSided.com… FanSided will begin announcing which fandoms have made the top 250 in batches of ten beginning on October 28th.

“…we decided to shine a spotlight on those passionate fans by taking on the impossible task of ranking the best 250 fandoms in the world,” said FanSided co-founder and CEO, Adam Best.

The list will contain not only sports fandoms but also fandoms supporting entertainment, celebrities and more.

“We’ve all had the debates. Are Red Sox fans better than Yankees fans? Are Ohio State fans more passionate than Alabama fans? But what happens when you introduce Game of Thrones fans into the equation? What about Batman lovers vs. Beyonce fans? How do you compare? It’s a tall order but we’re going to have fun trying,” said FanSided VP of Content, Patrick Allen.

As fantasy football fans, we will have to wait until December 6th when the final rankings are released to find out where we sit but as our readers will surely agree, we believe our fans should be firmly atop these rankings!

Fantasy football brings a deep personal level of connection with the sport we love so much that is completely unique to fantasy sports and drives a passion that is matched by none! How many fans can say they watched every play of a 44-0 blow-out in the hopes that their sleeper running back snagged a garbage time TD? We know the passion of spending hours agonizing over which player to lock into your flex spot and the sheer joy when your waiver wire QB goes off and crushes your opponents hopes and dreams!
