Being skeptical about polls doesn’t just apply to politics.
At least not among Carolina Panthers’ fans, who rank among the NFL’s “Least Sexiest,” according to the results of a poll of fans across the league released Thursday
So all of those photos of former Panthers’ star Christian McCaffrey and supermodel girlfriend Olivia Culpo basking on beaches had no effect on our sexy meter? C’mon.
Yet so claims “research” by BonusFinder.com, a gaming site that said it surveyed 1,027 NFL fans from the 32 franchises.
The poll sought to reveal, ahead of Valentine’s Day, which supporters those who were polled thought were the sexiest and which current NFL players they found most attractive.
Participants could not choose their own teams, according to a BonusFinder.com news release.
Instead, fans were asked about their “behaviors, opinions and verdicts on other fan bases across the league,” according to the site. “The respondents were split by NFL fan base, age, gender, region and city.”

Anyone surprised that Dallas Cowboys’ fans were deemed sexiest and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who announced his retirement this week, voted the most attractive player?
That’s to be expected.
But Atlanta Falcons’ fans making the Sexiest list?
Skewed, we say.
At least we ranked better than the fan bases of 13 other teams, the results showed.
Washington Commanders fans ranked worst, thereby topping the Least Sexy list, followed by Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings fans.
