In that case, perhaps you could spell things out in the future?
Or you could have just trusted me 
And the title of the OP is “In what states is a single sports franchise dominant?”
The state of confusion really favors the Washington Generals.
My BIL grew up in Perth but before the Eagles or the Dockers existed. He followed Collingwood, though I’m not sure why he chose them.
Perth has a local Australian football league called the WAFL (Western Australian Football League). But yes, most Perth (doesn’t stand for anything, it’s just the name) people followed the Victorian league even before Perth had their own team(s) because the standard of play was much higher.
The best players from WA (and other states which can be abbreviated as SA, (South Australia) NSW (New South Wales(not part of Wales the country in the UK (United Kingdom) ))) and more) would move to Melbourne to play.
I guess people chose a team the same way anyone without a local connection does - colour, vibe, favourite player,…
ETA: Victorian meaning ‘of the Australian state of Victoria’, not the historical era. Sorry for any confusion.
Even Perth has the Freemantle Dockers. I’m an American and didn’t even have to look that one up.
I grew up in Oklahoma and Sooner football received the majority of attention; but Oklahoma State always had a serious following.
Had family in Nebraska - best I could tell it was Cornhusker, though and though.So they get my vote.
Oddly Oklahoma, seems to have transformed into a NBA stronghold; think college football lost a great deal of interest; with conference realignment, NIL and such.
One of the more important tasks of the SDMB is to broaden the perspective of US focused members.
Progress is slow, but I’m in it for the long haul.
This is true gary, although the Eagles have around double the fans of the dockers but in seasons where they’re playing like shit (recently), the Eagles have lower average crowd sizes.
That’s a new thing
