A few Redditors recently took it upon themselves to conduct fan polls in each of the four major sports sub-Reddits — NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL — in order to find out which states and countries hate which professional sports teams the most. We posted the not-at-all-shocking results of the NBA poll last week, and the MLB results rolled in on Sunday. As was the case with the NBA, the most hated team in MLB won’t surprise you. The Yankees not only cleaned up in the American poll, but they now hold the distinct honor of being the most hated baseball team on the planet. Except Australia. Why? We have no idea.
As for the state-by-state results, the St. Louis Cardinals — in somewhat of an upset — beat out the Boston Red Sox. I guess class and doing things the right way only takes you so far.
