	i support anything that ranks my braves above the yankees and phillies.

	awix:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 05:47 GMT		12 points
	2 surprises that i saw: 1. yankees were not higher, 2. dodgers did not make the list at all.

	qbsamoa:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 05:57 GMT		-2 points
	how does this work? why chicago bulls?

	nhynes89:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 06:23 GMT		9 points
	JORDAN, good enough to keep the bulls popular for ten years after his retirement. also, the astros is a pretty huge market houston is the fourth biggest city in the us

	bryanhickman:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 06:34 GMT		2 points
	The sample is way too small so far. I love the idea of mapping teams' popularity though. With a nationwide poll the Yankees, Lakers, and Cowboys would end up on top.

	this is basically "name the teams that have won a championship in the last two decades"

	LinuxLinus:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 08:02 GMT		4 points
	I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that the Astros are more popular than the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, or Angels. Unlikely to the point that it pretty much invalidates the source.

	dlte:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 08:03 GMT		11 points
	@ brianyankees: Canadian teams don't even make the top 10 (the highest is Vancouver at 22nd) because the site the information comes from only polls Americans. The Raptors (29th) and Blue Jays (29th) don't make the top 10 either. It's not like i omitted the Canadian teams from the top 10, they just weren't as popular to Americans.

	darksilver2820:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 10:21 GMT		2 points
	As an Astros fan I put them down mostly in jest only to be pleasantly surprised by the result.

	elnok:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 13:25 GMT		5 points
	@mrprocrastinator is right on target calling out the bandwagoneers. studying abroad in the nineties, i found everyone who knew american football was either a cowboys, niners, or bills fan. now, it's all boston all the time. (yeah, jealous, but still, making a point...)

	GoBlue:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 13:52 GMT		3 points
	Lions @ 11th? Sweet! Just imagine how high they'd would be if they actually won a few games!

	Jerry_Garcia:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 13:59 GMT		6 points
	The 76ers are 5th? Really? Over the LAKERS?? I love my 76ers and all, but they are dreadful to watch. More Philly fans would rather watch Villanova or Temple than the 76ers.

	jaysee:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 15:27 GMT		4 points
	Seriously? The Wizards have fans??

	could use a little bit more time. i was tpying the whole time.

	mattzc7:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 17:34 GMT		1 point
	I'm really interested to know which sad sack teams couldn't even beat the blue jays or raptors, or the few hockey teams when voted on by just americans.

	mikeinpurple:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 17:44 GMT		1 point
	Braves more popular than the Yankees? What happened??

	mikeinpurple:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 17:48 GMT		4 points
	After looking at the link, I can confidently say that this is a pretty bad source to use for a quiz like this.

	kmad:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 19:26 GMT		-1 points
	Yeah... pretty much zero chance that any US teams are ahead of the Canadiens, Leafs, Flames or Canucks.

	dtro:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 19:52 GMT		4 points
	Some of these results seem highly dubious.

	bigthree4life:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 19:59 GMT		3 points
	boston represent!

	johnlk:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 20:34 GMT		2 points
	Houston is the fourth biggest city, but nowhere near the fourth biggest media market - besides the big 3, Philly, San Francisco, Boston, DC, Dallas, and Atlanta are all bigger media markets.

	ack:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 20:44 GMT		8 points
	boston bandwagon represent!

	The most impressive (because most lasting) performer is Chicago. The Cubs are the Cubs, even with a few recent playoff appearances. Yet they're 2nd. The Bears, again despite a couple good teams this decade, are 3rd. And they've been hibernating most of the years since the NFL became huge. The Blackhawks just took 20 years off, and haven't won a cup since god knows when - they're 4th. And the Bulls have been awful to mediocre since Jordan retired - 12 years - and they're still first. That's staggering, really. No other city has anything quite similar. The Boston teams have all been really good. Most of the other teams are on the list either because they had dynasties at some point or are simply old teams in big markets. But Chicago alone is consistently higher than the results would indicate they ought to be, and even when far removed from any kind of real success.

	i find it hard to believe the sixers are more popular than the lakers

	Blaise:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 22:55 GMT		3 points
	Man, good to know the 76ers are more popular than the Lakers. I live around Philly, and I think I've seen more Laker jerseys than I have Sixers. Not to mention the Sixers are the LEAST popular team (probably goes Eagles.Phillies...........Flyers...Sixers) in Philly and the Lakers are the most popular in LA...

	sevorak:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 23:20 GMT		2 points
	@mrprocrastinator: The Cubs would beg to differ.

	Robert_Seth:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 23:24 GMT		2 points
	Yankees are still at 100%... hard to believe after 3000+ plays still nobody missed 'em.

	Kevin23:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT		1 point
	I call BS on this. The Lakers should be # 1, as should the Yankees, Cowboys and Canadiens. Sorry, but Chicago and Boston don't rule the world of sports...not even close.

	statdis:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 16:06 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, there is no way this is correct. It is widely known that the Lakers, Yankees and Cowboys have, far and away, the most bandwagon fans in their respective sports. And as much as I'd like to believe it, I don't think my Wizards would crack the top 10.

	walshnuts:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 16:31 GMT		2 points
	@statdis: not sure about that, the Red Sox blew up in popularity after '04. I'd say they are the bandwagon team of the decade.

	DzPshr13:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 21:01 GMT		-1 points
	Hockey shouldn't be on here because, without Canada, the results are inherently flawed.

	JohnShade:	Mar 5th, 2010 at 04:05 GMT		1 point
	If you don't like the quiz, go out and do your own survey. Do it right and see what the results say.
