Thoughts:

Hate for Steelers stretches pretty far.

In Cowboy Country, hate for Philly greater than for Washington. Guess Dallas/Washington rivalry has faded.

Missouri fans still bitter over losing Rams.

Steelers most hated in Indiana. Guess Bears and Colts don't play often enough to have a real rivalry.

You mean the poor sad sack Vikings don't even get to be most hated anywhere? hahahahahahahaha

Mostly Bears and Vikings, with a few Packers. This map is from 2014.

There aren't nearly as many Viking fans in central and western North Dakota (Bismarck) as eastern (Fargo). Lots of Packers fans in Bismarck. There's a surprising amount of Steelers fans too. Bismarck isn't as close to Minnesota as Fargo, so allegiances vary a lot more.

If you go north and a little east of the North dakota Montana border it would show some packees colors for the fans. Probably 50% of the people in my town who care about the NFL are packers fans. I even have my daughtersboyfriend cheering for them. Or at least lying about it

Good job. Daughter's boyfriend has to know how to behave properly.


The biggest question on these maps is why does West Virginia bother hating on the Browns?

Also, is Florida's hate for New England because of the Dolphins? I didn't think the 'Fins had that passionate of a fanbase anymore.

It's perfectly reasonable for Florida to hate the Pats, even without being passionate about the Dolphins.

They tend to be Steelers fans and they share a long border with Ohio. Could also be some former Browns fans who hate the Browns for leaving Cleveland for Baltimore.

Steelers most hated in Tennessee too. Apparently, the AFC South rivalries aren’t very big.

I'm curious what those dark counties in Florida on the "like" map are. Packers? I doubt it. Transplanted Giants fans? Don't seem likely. Certainly not the Jets hahahaha. Ravens? Maybe, but why other than that they are good right now.
