Reddit user kmhokies35 polled the subreddit, which has over a quarter-million subscribers, to find out where they’re from and what football team they hate the most. The results were compiled into the map below.
The Dallas Cowboys may be “America’s Team,” but America hates them pretty hard. Including in their own state!
America is a melting pot of passionate NFL fans who either love or hate specific football teams. To figure out what teams are the most hated, Reddit user KMHokies35 took a survey of various fans from around the country to determine who hates which NFL team and where they do their hating.
It makes sense that there are large swaths of hatred on the periphery of where particular teams play. For instance: the state of Washington (a.k.a. Seahawks terriotory) hates the 49ers … and everything around is vehemently anti-Hawks. You’ve either got 49ers fans or people sick of the Seahawks.
Same sort of thing in Texas and the surrounding areas, where people are probably sick of the Cowboys winning existing.
Not sure the Patriots hate in the Carolinas really exists, although it does make sense when you consider the Pats beat the Panthers in Carolina’s only Super Bowl appearance.
The Bears and Packers swapping distaste of one another makes absolute sense.
And nothing is more delightful than all of Florida rooting against the Jets.
Texas results:
Evidently Americans are pretty happy.
A recent study conducted by the United Nations and Columbia University attempted to infer happiness measuring a series of social metrics and survey results. Some of the results are unsurprising: wealth, health, political stability and economic equality all appear to coincide with happiness. But there are some real surprises in the data. Latin America and the Caribbean are, by this measure, the happiest on average in the world. Here’s why that might be and more lessons from the data.
This map displays Facebook fans of NFL teams across the United States. Each county is color-coded based on which official team page has the most ‘Likes’ from people who live in that county.
