The sports attendance jokes grew old long ago. Bad team suspects or even announces no fans are allowed to attend its games as a COVID-19 precaution, andthe social media world rushes to the same punch line.
St. Louis Cardinals Jersey For some teams, though, the jokes land with better accuracy. The Washing Football Team is one of those squads.MORE: Washington announced Wednesday that NFL games at FedEx Field will be played during the 2020 season "with the health and safety of its fans and employees top of mind." A portion of team owner Dan Snyder's statement read,"We are fortunate to host the best fans in the NFL year after year."Last season, though, the "best fans in the NFL" filled FedEx Field with an average attendance of 65,488 in the 82,000-seat stadium, per ESPN. That means it was just 79.9 percent full on average, the for 2019 ahead of the Buccaneers (79.1 percent) and
Marcell Ozuna Jersey the Bengals (72 percent).In 2018, Washington ranked dead last in the league in attendance by percentage of seating capacity. It ranked 28th in 2017 and 30th in 2015, with a spike to 18th in 2016 with the team coming off an NFC East title.So, yeah, the jokes in this case are fair. They can be found in the comments of any post about Washington's announcement Wednesday. Below are just a fewexamples.so it'll look like it did last year? bomani (@bomani_jones)
