CommonCensus Sports Map Project

This is part of another project to make maps of areas people identify with, and as part of it to show what sports teams people in different areas support.

Looks like a very interesting idea, especially when you see the maps already made up.

I think their NFL map is off, they don't show Oakland, which has a huge following(unless the Oakland fans aren't allowed to use computers in jail *rimshot*)

And to the supposed packer fans in Michigan, I'd like to send out a big fuck you.

From the map page:
Quote:
Important: this map is highly inaccurate and should be understood only as a demonstration, and not as any kind of reliable data yet. It is based on only 2,500 votes spread across all teams, across the country. Many of the borders between team areas are based mostly on computer extrapolation in between distantly separated votes. A map with more accurate boundaries will gradually emerge as the number of votes reaches the upper tens of thousands.
But yeah, you'd think that somebody would have voted Oakland. I also wish that the resolution of the map was higher; the Northeast is a bit cramped.

115 people did pick Oakland. Oakland isn't showing up on the map because each pixel is colored based on the plurality of the 50 nearest votes. Apparently the 49ers have more votes in the same general area so the map is colored 49ers.

The map is revised, and Oakland is now (barely) represented. The map is also clearer.

Hmmm.... this further proves my point about the Sox/Yanks thing being out of hand. Check out how much of the US is covered by the Sox. Hell, the state of Colorado is divided in half, even though they have their own damn team.

It also helps reinforce another 2 opinions of mine:

1) The Big Ten is the best football conference.
2) Most U of Kentucky fans are retards (don't worry, I am one). They don't care (and most don't know) that over 100 years of football have only turned up 6 bowl appearances (I think, it may be less). Most of them still think Tim Couch has a shot at being a Super Bowl MVP. They have no working knowledge of any sport other than basketball, and most don't even have that.
