It has been no secret that the Jacksonville Jaguars have been a disaster this season on and off the field, but the franchise’s fans are fighting back.
Jaguars fans are growing more and more unhappy with the decision-makers that the organization has in place, specifically general manager Trent Baalke. NFL Network reported that Baalke will be retained for next season as the Jaguars GM and said that he will be involved in the search for their new head coach next year.

Fans are now letting their frustrations be known on social media in quite a hilarious way. Many Jaguars supporters are now changing their avatars on Twitter to a clown emoji with a mustache that looks like Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s and commenting under posts from the team in an attempt to make their voices heard about the way the team is run.
Fans who are going to their season finale against the Indianapolis Colts also plan to wear clown costumes to the game.

Maybe Bears fans should take a page out of Jacksonvilles book if they want the Organization and Ownership to hear their voices! https://t.co/5BY9DnuUed

This type of reaction to a bad team is not something that’s uncommon in the NFL. We have all seen fans bring out paper bag heads to watch a game of a struggling team. However, the clown costumes in the stands will definitely be a funny thing to look out for this weekend.
While the future seems bleak for Jaguars fans, they are at least in line for the top pick in the NFL draft currently if they do lose to the Colts in their final game of the season.
