According to Betway: to determine the teams based on who’s most positively talked about online we used the Linkfluence social listening tool that crawls data on mentions across the internet from the past 12 months. So how did these rankings come about? Teams are ranked by how many combined followers they have across social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. We ranked as more popular than both teams that played in the Super Bowl last year. Not only with how high the Panthers ranked (beating 19 teams) but some of who we beat is interesting. And if you’re actually from one of those places then no judgment from me. Hate me all you want for that statement, but in most cases it is true. It plays right into the “bandwagon teams” as I often refer to them. I’m also not remotely shocked at the number one and two teams on this list. But despite my surprise, the Carolina Panthers ranked as the 12th most popular NFL team in a recent study by Betway. But I guess I just wouldn’t have imagined a team that has struggled in recent years and is still one of the newest in the league, would rank so high. Which, in a city full of transplants does make sense. But you never fail to see a significant portion of fans in the visiting team’s colors on game day. I mean around here the Panthers are the home team so it makes sense there are more fans of them than other teams. I have to admit this came as a little bit of a surprise to me.
