Of what sports teams are you a fan?

[Lief 🗽]

Also I root for Hull City and Wolverhampton, for obvious reasons.

Because they play in orange?

Not just any kind of orange...



But mostly I just enjoy plucky underdogs who get themselves promoted into the Premier League and have awesome crests at the same time.

[Smash255]

New York Giants
New York Yankees
New York Islanders
New Jersey soon to be Brooklyn Nets

The only one I truly care about are the Western Bulldogs in the AFL, but theoretically also the Brumbies in the rugbg union, and Melbourne/Victorian/Australian teams otherwise. I don't follow US sports.

[Хahar 🤔]

Also interesting is the MASSIVE geographic reach of the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves can't sell out playoff games, but they still have one of the largest fanbases in baseball. It's a combination of national exposure on TBS (which for years showed only Braves games), the lack of other teams in the South (until 1993 there were no other teams, and even now there are only the Marlins and Rays, and nobody cares about either of those teams), and their utter dominance (no team other than the Braves won a division title from 1991 to 2005).

There is some weirdness in those maps. I never knew Packers support spilled over into SE Minnesota, that would no doubt make many here declare that area "fake Minnesota". Weird how the Twins vs. Brewers pattern doesn't follow.

The Packers are prestigious in a way that the Brewers aren't. Compare the support of the St. Louis Cardinals to the Rams for a similar difference.

And the area around Reno sort of adopting the Bay Area feels a little weird too even if that's the closest area in distance.

It probably has a lot to do with Las Vegas's replacing Reno as the major tourist destination in Nevada, but Reno is definitely an extension culturally of Northern California. I would imagine that many (if not most) of the tourists and immigrants to that area come from here. That effect even extends (to a far lesser extent) all the way out to Utah; my dad was a 49ers fan even before he moved to California, having picked it up as a grad student at Utah State.

The Red Sox predominate in nearly all of Connecticut and also Upstate NY?  That can't be true.

(I guess one of those things where intensity of support skews online polls).

Red Sox fans certainly rival the amount of NYY fans here in WNY.

Aren't the Blue Jays the closest team?

They are, but everyone here likes the Red Sox or Yankees, for the most part.  Probably has to do with the fact that Toronto is not at the same caliber season after season as the Yankees or Sox, and the fact that it's a Canadian team.

On a side note, I do know a few Mets fans, but they don't number anywhere near Sox or Yankees fans.

[Badger]

Steelers and Pens to the point of bleeding black and gold.

Though props to the Jackets, Wings, and Packers.
