I call BS

no way the WNBA has that many “fans”. Do they even sell that many tickets in a season?

and Penn State? who the hell would follow Penn St….now maybe The Ohio State Buckeyes that would make sense.

Well considering Michigan and Penn State have the 2 biggest stadiums and fill over 100,000 for home games I’d say its more likely then OSU

There must be a lot of lesbians on facebook for the WNBA to have that many fans.

the nfl and mlb are low

but then go and look at how many followers each individual team has.

I don't think these numbers mean a whole lot.

These numbers are more indicative of the age of the fans of these sports than the amount of fans following these sports. The UFC does extremely well in the 18-49 demographic. Younger people use facebook more than older people.

The NFL is top dog in the U.S. and it’s not even close.

If you combine the individual NFL teams’ followers, it’s the most. NBA up there really surprises me tho. surprised how many people are followers of the leaguewide page, figured most would be on indivdual teams. weird. there’s some weird demographic stuff going on with this list, and it ain’t just age
