Welcome to the inaugural edition of World’s Angriest Fan, where each week we speak to a fan who has completely had it with his or her team. Just hands-in-the-air, wall-smashing, I’m-finally-selling-my-toaster-that-burns-a-logo-into-my-bread done with the whole thing.
Maybe your team just blew it. Maybe your quarterback is garbage and your O-line is awful. Maybe your coach is an idiot, or your owner has come unhinged. Perhaps there are mysterious forces conspiring to drive your team into the ground. Or perhaps those forces are hiding in plain sight, and no one seems to want to do anything about it.
Have you ever hated the team you love? Like really, really, really hated them, with a fervor and venom typically reserved for dictators or diseases? Nick O. has.
He is the World’s Angriest Fan.

The Detroit Lions are not good. The promise of last year’s season — when the team went 11–5 and made it to the NFC wild-card game — has quickly dissipated. After Monday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions are 0–4 and are the only winless team in the NFL. A lot went wrong Monday, including a blown call by a back judge with less than two minutes to go that cost Detroit the game. But this is only the latest debacle in a years-long stretch of misery for the Lions, which in 2008 became the first — and to date only — team under the modern 16-game schedule to go an entire season without a single victory.
Last night, Nick O. burned his Lions jersey.
