Most popular team by state

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Likely the Cardinals or Royals in MO...probably Cardinals in all honesty.

I'll stick with Cardinals or Chiefs with the Blues, Royals and Jayhawks rounding out top 5.

It's pretty funny that only one person in this thread got the joke. Look at the acronym for where the data came from........

 

[VOLnMiami]

Lost all credibility with the Marlins being there for the State of Florida.

They aren’t even the most popular franchise in Miami

That is ridiculous and I am a Marlins fan...The Dolphins are the most popular football team and the Heat are a very close 2nd

 

[MWAVolfan]

I hate Florida, really I do, but the Marlins can't draw flies let alone the adoration of an entire state.

 

[Vol8188]

Interesting...

The interesting question is what year is this from? It has the SuperSonics listed

 

[BowlBrother85]

I’m sorry but I don’t agree with a lot of those. The Chargers over the Lakers? The Bills over the Yankees or Giants? The Astros over the Cowboys? The White Sox over the Cubs? Doesn’t seem very credible.

Exactly. And I would add special emphasis to the absurdity of suggesting the Astros are more popular than the Cowboys in Texas. No. Damn. Way.

 

[UTK]

I hate Florida, really I do, but the Marlins can't draw flies let alone the adoration of an entire state.

I mean all Florida teams have somewhat fair weather fans, pro and college. So it's hard to get a gauge of who would be most popular.

C'mon man! You know the Marlins are the fav team in Florida even if the gators had more attendance for 7 games than the Marlins did all season. lol

 

[TNnative]

Add to that list: Pelicans over LSU or the Saints in LA
Blues over Cardinals in MO.

Someone needs to rethink their day job...

Or going into rehab for their night recreation.

 

[TNnative]

According to travel and housing data. What is that?

Who knows? Whoever it is had a practical joker collecting the data.

Breaking News: Seattle has settled on a mascot for their NHL team. The Choppers.

 

[ButchPlz]

I would actually guess the NY Yankees are the most popular team in Florida.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

At least they got Tennessee right

 

[orangebloodgmc]

No, we get it. But we can still pick it apart; there's little enough else to do, sportswise.

/ without a doubt the cards

 

[give_him 6]

Chiefs are most popular in MO and KS. The Blues and Cardinals....yeah right.

Omg, I’m cracking up on your list! I’m from Virginia and it certainly isn't the Nats. You nailed it! Although I’m not a fan of the nameless team either......

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I also, find it fascinating that my beloved vols are the only team to win 2 states..... just saying!!!

Dobbs for Heisman!!


EDIT : on second look the Pats have 3 states. Dang, I really thought we all something to brag about! At least we have not been caught taping practices!!!! y e t

Broncos have two states.

Agreed. I’ve lived in FL for 7 years now, albeit the gulf coast, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone wearing any Marlins gear ever. Same goes for car decals. Seems like it would break down between UF/FSU/Miami but there are a ton of pro teams in FL.

SHARTS

 

[VolinMichigan]

No way UM is getting Michigan. Too many MSU fans, so they would split the vote. If I had to pick a team that all Michiganders can universally get behind it would be a toss up between the Tigers or the Red Wings.

 

[GetEmVols]

No way the Vols are the most popular team in Mississippi. That would be Ole Miss.

 

[BornonRockyTop]

St. Louis Blues for Missouri...just..NO???

 

[molsen81]

Incorrect. We NorCal despise any SoCal team except the Lakers.
