3. It’s an honor to be ranked:

There are only 23 of the 32 NFL teams ranked on FanSided 250. Some of the most historic franchises are behind Baltimore. Pittsburgh ranks 14th among NFL teams. The San Francisco 49ers fandom ranks 15th among NFL teams on the list. The Ravens are also ahead of notable teams like the Denver Broncos and the New York Giants. As long as their are rankings there will be debate. The Ravens Flock is underrated yet, they are very much respected by FanSided 250. To be 133rd out of 250 followings across sports, television, movies and music, that’s a good thing.

The Ravens fandom ranks ahead of some pretty A-list company. Fans the T.V. show Friends ranks in at 191. Ravens fans are ahead of Robert Downey Jr. fans. (We beat Iron Man, guys!). The fandom of the Lord of the Rings are ranked 162nd. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a musical theater genius and his fandom only got to 220th on the list. College Sports have an unbelievably passionate fandom. Ravens fans rank ahead of fans of the Michigan Wolverines, Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns. That’s an incredible achievement for the fans of the purple and black.

The Ravens haven’t made FanSided 250 every year, so this is a big deal. The Ravens fanbase has been recognized for their passion, energy and commitment. That’s something worth celebrating. As of the time of this writing, the Ravens are getting ready to play the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. The Ravens are about to put on a show and so is Baltimore! Sing the fight song with me: “For Baltimore and Maryland, we will go on to Victory!”
