DEAD! Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Here's a poll on sportsnet.caIt asks what is the popular sports team in the world. It had Manchester United, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Lakers, Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Cowboys and the Frankfurt Galaxy. Last I checked, Frankfurt is beating Dallas!SO, I decided to create the same poll (granted fewer people will be surveyed.) With one addition OTHER. So if you vote for other tell me what team you think is the most popular. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Other by default, because I have a strong dislike for all 6 of those teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Alright.... who voted for the Frankfurt Galaxy? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeygator Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Even though I am not a Yankees fan, I voted for them based on the topic. They are not my favorite, but I believe that they are the most popular around the world. Whatcha gonna do when the Ultimate MegaPowers run wild over you!

Saintsfan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Mmm the pronblem with other in this poll is that unhless you are a supporter of one of the six you have to go for other really!Most of those six would be pretty low on my list of teams to support! Certainly don't ,much like Man Uunited, the Yankees, the Cowboys or the Lakers! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 the question is who do you think is the most popular sports team. Not who is your favorite sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Yeah and I chose them because they were the choices on a website. (See first post!) And who voted for Frankfurt? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusebazell Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well if it was just this country it would have to be the Yankees but outside of this country it would probably have to be Manchester United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookedThumb Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 What about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? How come they aren't a choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 It's the Yankees, they're known world-wide. They easily beat Man-U beacuse in the US, few people know who Man-U is. Everyone in every country know the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiver Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well if it was just this country it would have to be the Yankees but outside of this country it would probably have to be Manchester UnitedI agree, Man U definately has the largest fan base world wide.

Saintsfan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well surely you have to vote for your own favourite?!?!?!?! Otherwise its a poll to find out who people think is the most popular team in the world?? If you were voting for that I think you would have to put more soccer teams on there as well, Real Madrid, Celtic, Rangers and Liverpool would all be well supported. Much more so than the Montreal Canadiens and the Frankfurt Galaxy. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Okay, for the LAST time.... The explanation for putting the choices was that they were the choices for the same question from a website and I wanted to see what people on this board thinks! Usually on Sportsnet polls, the last choice tends to be there as a joke! If you go on the website tomorrow, you'll probably see what I mean. I saw, I came, I left.

uniformity Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 theres no need for a poll on this matter. Worldwide without a doubt manchester united is the most popular sports team. They have 53 million card carrying supporters. The fact that they were able to set an attendance record last night in seattle, outdrawing the hometown seahawks, attests to such. Even in america, a country that admittedly doesnt care about pro soccer, manchester united still sells out. I highly doubt the Yankees could do the same in any foreign country other than Japan.Yes, the yankees are the highest profile team in the US and the tiffany designed NY logo is probably the most recognizable sports icon in the world, but that doesnt mean the team has the most fans worldwide. All it really means IMO is they have a good looking brandmark that anyone can wear without supporting.Baseball does not come close to the popularity of european football worldwide in terms of numner of fans and participating nations. It's a regional american sport, albeit in a few large concentrated markets. Besides the USA, Japan and a few latin countries noone follows baseball period. Even Hockey surpasses baseball in terms of the number of nations where the game is popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 No need for a poll on this matter? OKAY maybe not on THIS board. Especially when there is a very small sample on this poll. Well, I'm STILL trying to figure out who voted for the Frankfurt Galaxy? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I was vote #2 for Frankfurt. It's obviously a disregarded, stupid entry, and since I couldn't figure out who to vote for, I wasted my ballot (and instead of pressing view results, hit me up for a Galaxy vote).

Any real Packer fan will tell you that cheeseheads are stupid and ridiculous-looking. I love the Packers as much as the next person, but I would NEVER put on one of those foam rubber cheese hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
