The A's don't even get Alameda. That's sad as hell. The Mets don't even get Queens. That's sad as hell. Also I guess there are Yankees/Sox/Cardinals fans everywhere, gross.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:generally being an A's or raiders fans signals that you really hate SF Until the Giants suck for a while and the A's are good, although maybe that's been broken since my childhood. During the Canseco years Giants weren't huge though they did have a decent fan base, but A's were really popular for a long time. Raiders though, it was mostly a class/age thing when I was growing up. Poorer, older (mostly white) working class folks were the core Raiders fans along with some really young people. Middle/Upper class were pretty big 49ers fans, but again that could have been that 49ers were generally better. Raiders games in the late 90's were a bit of a trip, and the whole stadium smelled like weed the few times I went to Monday night games. The odd age brackets were similar to going to a Metallica concert - a shitload of people in their 40's and 50's and then a bunch of teenagers.

Idk what the use of that map is but it's pretty clearly going by some vague idea of proximity, not by whether a thing is literally on the border. Hence small countries are chock full of border regions and big ports that are at a distance from foreign landmass are not.

It's a map of regions as defined by the EU's regional development plan. Depending on what category you're grouped into you are able to lay claim on various subsidies and grants, so under certain circumstances it can be pretty attractive for the regions of their respective national governments to be classed “maritime“ even if they're not really

What the hell is up with Lynchburg, Virginia? Are they just weirdly into the Nats or something? Also I'd love to see an updated one, too. I think the Nats have been expanding their fan base a bit.

Quorum posted:What the hell is up with Lynchburg, Virginia? Are they just weirdly into the Nats or something? Much of the US is a nearly even split between Yankees and Red Sox taking up 30-40% of the team affiliation, usually followed by a vaguely nearby team in third place (in that case, the Braves). Probably has something to do with what teams the stations on people's satellite/cable systems will cover the most. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/24/upshot/facebook-baseball-map.html Remember, the original page does you pan around and drill down to see the first 3 teams for each!

Also they think they're exceptional and unique while having a lot less to back it up than the USA. Man, what. The American political system didn't pop up out of thin air in 1776. It's because French nerds* had been sitting around thinking of new ways to do things * also some English nerds Shout out to the Enlightenment masters! Without them we'd still be in the Ancien Régime.
