From March 2013 to March of this year, ESPN tracked America’s favorite sports teams. This is what they found:
- The Dallas Cowboys are America’s number one team.
- Three other NFL teams placed in the top five: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers, and the Denver Broncos.
- The Miami Heat are America’s favorite NBA team, surpassing the Lakers in the past year. Still, the Heat are ranked sixth among all sports teams.
- The New York Yankees are America’s favorite baseball team.
Maybe its because I’m from Seattle and currently reside in California, but I have never actually met a Cowboys fan or Yankees fan that wasn’t from Texas or New York. As for the Heat being America’s favorite NBA team, I wonder how much game one of the NBA Finals will impact the rankings, because apparently #lebroning is now a thing.
