Louisville was named one of the rudest cities in America by a national study
A new study ranked the rudest cities in America by surveying residents about rude social behaviors in their area and assigning each major U.S. city a 1.0-10.0 rudeness score. Some of the most common behaviors named in the survey were lacking self-awareness, talking on speakerphone in a shared space, being loud, and a lack of care for others, among many others.
In conclusion, the study named 46 cities as the rudest. The top three were Miami, Florida, the rudest, receiving a 9.88/10.0 on the rudeness scale. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (9.12) and Tampa, Florida (8.88) ranked second and third.

Though the study won’t say it, one can reasonably conclude that the city’s fans of the Louisville Cardinals skewed the numbers. The city of Louisville is full of southern hospitality and great people, but Cards fans carry too much weight with all of their rude behavior, thus the No. 4 national ranking.
Be kinder, Louisville.
