Many people here take pride in the Texans beating the Titans because they moved, but i dont care enough about the Titans
The hatred usually does come from one side inside the state of Texas so this is not a shock. The majority of Cowboy fans have no hatred of the Texans. :shrugs: You must hate the Titans as much or more than you do the Cowboys, though. The Cowboys aren't a rival of the Texans.

If I'm reading that second map correctly, a significant portion of Virginia roots for the Cowboys. I might just be a little color blind.

I don't know if that's very accurate. But there are thousands of us up here including DC and Maryland. So it's possible but again, don't know how accurate that is.

Thats right. The Cowboys have a huge following in Southern Virginia.

Anyone post PPP?

Americans favor the Niners - Public Policy Polling

Quote:
PPP's 4th annual Super Bowl poll finds Americans rooting for the 49ers over the Ravens on Sunday by a 33/25 margin, although a 42% plurality don't care one way or the other who wins the big game.

Sometimes I really love football.

That was interesting--along with the map showing South Carolina as mainly Steeler territory... Is that one right as well?

It's interesting the places where fan support for an NFL team is solid for the boundaries of a state or area. The New England Patriots fanbase is basically the exact borders of New England minus a county in SW Connecticut. The Green Bay Packers is all of Wisconsin, with a few patches to the west.

I'm surprised that the Saints' fanbase extends so deep into Alabama. You'd think that would be Falcon territory more or less.

They're an older team and their fans are still riding high on titles won nearly 20 years ago. That's hard to compete with.

Though just a Facebook generated map, I think it might confirm what many of us have probably noted anecdotally:

Steelers Nation is HUGE and DEEP. This is why bars from NYC to Denver to LA will be packed with annoying fans waving "terrible towels" any time they play. They have sleeper cells in every part of the globe and their fan base is by far more willing to travel than any other. But I suppose that is what several Super Bowl titles and decades of consistency get you.

The Cowgirls have a whole lot of fans, most notably in southern Virginia. I guess they have the fat bodies to go along with their massive egos.
I laughed really hard reading this.

Its funny looking at the map and seeing that the Cowboys are at least in the top two or three in the US in terms of numbers of fans, but my international travels confirm how far the reach really is. Ive seen Dallas Cowboy bars in Mexico City, Seoul, Tokyo, and London.

No doubt, the Steelers have a far reach too, but I question if its as deep as the Cowboys.
