Poor Calgary.


cbus2019

Only state/province where the most hated team is from…their own state/province 😂


SomeJerkOddball

Such is the intensity of the BoA. I bet it's by an incredibly small margin, and the second most hated team is the Oilers.


TheObsidianX

And then the stamps/elks are third and fourth in whatever order.


SomeJerkOddball

Yup definitely, though the Riders would get in on the CFL hate proposition.


TapirTrouble

Oilers fans represent! lol!


S-Kiraly

I was watching a Polish TV series set in Warsaw on Netflix recently. In the final episode, a character was wearing an Oilers hat. Made me smile.


Honouahoblue

Fuck the flames lol


Blitz6969

Right! I came here like wtf lol


jeffykins

Nunavut hating on Boston lmao


pieterkampsmusic

All five inhabitants agreed


Organic_Chemist9678

Made me do a double take. Seems unlikely


ianmacleod46

That’s what I was thinking. I used to live in New Brunswick and a lot of people would follow Boston sports. It may not have been 100% their team / region, but it’s super surprising that they would have picked the Bruins as their most hated team in any sport.


ProfZussywussBrown

Yeah I thought we were buds with the Maritimes. Someone needs to like us


Quimbymouse

We're pretty evenly split between Toronto, Boston, and Montreal fans...and both Toronto and Montreal fans hate Boston...so there's your metric.


MonsterRider80

I places like Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, there are a lot of Habs/Leafs fans. For both of these fanbases, the most hated rival is the Boston Bruins.


wkrausmann

They’re having nunavut…


thdubs

Surprising number of Leafs fans across the north, probably down to which television market they were a part of. Same thing with Atlantic Canada.


hey_now24

I’m sure the majority of people in Boston can’t point Nunavut in a map


Silent_R

That's probably true everywhere but Nunavut.


Wend-E-Baconator

He'll yeah, Boston


JohnnieTango

I think Boston is the only city with all four of its major teams ending up on someone's most hated list (Celtics --- California, Bruins - Quebec and the Maritimes, Pats - Indiana (why?), and the Sox (NY)) This is some sort of accomplishment, although I am not sure what kind.


ImNotAtAllCreative81

Pats - Indiana is leftover hate from the Patriots-Colts / Brady-Manning rivalry.


Korncakes

From the Brady roast last night to Peyton “sometimes you live in Colorado, sometimes you live in Indiana, but you’ll always live in my shadow.” That rivalry still runs deep.


laserfish

“I don’t think about you at all.”


Double-decker_trams

I'm not from Boston nor am I even American, but.. were I a Bostonian, I think I'd feel weirldy proud? It's an achievement.


xXMojoRisinXx

Can confirm.


tarc0917

We actually kinda love it.


aimless_meteor

Washington manages to have 4 teams generally with Seahawks, Gonzaga, UW, Sounders


The_Astrobiologist

They hate us because they ain't us


RatherBeSkiing

They hate us because they anus


JohnnieTango

And we can be obnoxious little shits too... (I grew up in the Boston suburbs and kept wondering when I left why everybody else seemed so nice...)


DreadLockedHaitian

People absolutely hate us 😂


dr00bles1

This also made me realize that all four Boston teams have different core colors (yellow, blue, green, red)


nicklovin508

It’s the “City of Champions” accomplishment. Y’all can try to deny it but Boston’s major 4 sports combined > anywhere else’s in the country.


Marine__0311

I know NC is first and foremost an NCAA basketball bastion, but I cant see the Cavaliers being the most hated. It make zero sense. The fans of the big three, four if you want to to throw in Wake Forrest, all hate each other far, far, more than Virginia.


blueray11286

By far Duke is the most hated team in North Carolina. I have never heard anyone ever mention Virginia


acwire_CurensE

Lived in Charlotte, went to uva. Definitely caught a stray from time to time but yeah the answer should be duke or maybe Clemson if it has to be a team outside the state.


honeymoow

definitely duke


rmarkmatthews

There’s way too much in-fighting going on for anyone here to give a shit about Virginia


Prodigal_Programmer

I’m just shocked Duke isn’t on here at all, including NC. But yeah I know it’s hard to land on one depending on how it’s quantified, but UVA wouldn’t even crack my top 10 between college and professional teams


jbhorton

Yeah, I thought Duke would have shown in most states.


whistleridge

As an NC native: absolutely the fuck not. UNC has a mild third-tier rivalry with them, and that’s it. Duke and UNC are the most hated schools, followed distantly by NCSU. Hell, South Carolina is more hated than UVA.


Flat-Length-4991

I’m guessing the people running the survey had a caveat saying “no instate hatred’s”. UNC, Duke, NC state, and Wake may have a common dislike of UVA as like a number 4. I dunno, sounds like BS regardless.


lknox1123

Right! As a NCSU supporter UNC is the most hated team! I’m biased but who really supports them….


cryptogryphon

The LA/GA sexual tension is off the charts.


SerDire

Saints/Falcons fans know what’s up.


Outta_hearr

People overlook it because we're both ass but God damn hating the Saints is just a fact of life in Atlanta


ChinatownMuffle

Cool to see Cards/Cubs, Yankees/Red Sox as the only MLB rivals


greenearrow

And Wisconsin is sitting there hating the Bears the most while 3 states hate the Packers the most, and none of them are particularly Bears fans.


MrGentleZombie

Bears fans absolutely despise the Packers, it's just that they're apparently outnumbered by baseball fans in IL. Also, [a survey](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/zl15zg/most_hated_nfl_team_by_team_results_oc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) conducted a year ago on the NFL team subreddits found that Packers fans hate the Vikings more than the Bears.


greenearrow

I know plenty of people who don’t give a shit about the cubs or cardinals because the white Sox is their team. There is one football team and two baseball teams, it still means something


Korncakes

I’m a Packers fan, I grew up programmed to hate the Bears. Over the past I don’t even know how fucking long at this point, I [don’t think of them as rivals](https://youtu.be/u1dFr4V_RIA?si=OSDJv974n78OlqaV). I semi root for the Lions because they were shit for so long and the culture that MCDC brought in is awesome, it’ll be really nice to actually have some competition in the division. That being said, fuck the Minnesota Vikings.


responsiblefornothin

I just don't see why Wisconsin would hate the team that gives them 2 free wins every year... maybe it's disgust that drives the hatred.


JohnnieTango

If the Giants and Dodgers were in different states, that might also make it. But those are the best rivalries in baseball...


Taco6J

As a Colts fan i'm finding it harder to blindly hate the Patriots because of how much they suck now. I'm still on the hate train but it's kinda hard to watch.


Isaacleroy

Same. I’m pretty much off that train. Just hating laundry at this point. I’ve shifted my loathing towards our division rivals.


take_more_detours

This is why Ontario still hates the Habs, yet Quebec hates Boston. Seems unfair to hate on the Leafs fans. They suffer enough without it.


metarinka

Glad the Michigan Ohio rivalry still has the two states hating each other over a college football program.


Tsujigiri

This will forever be a thing, I think. I've always mused to myself that it's a remnant of the Toledo war.


metarinka

Glad you brought that up because that's exactly what it is about. Most people Michiganders and Ohioans don't even know this forgotten war. I always found it funny that they we hated each other so much as we're identical culturally and economically.


Somhlth

I have no idea what team that is that BC finds most hated. Also am in Ontario, and hate the Bruins more than I hate the Canadiens, and I hate the Canadiens.


FalseCredential

Seattle Sounders, MLS Club.


Somhlth

Ah, thanks. Would not have guessed that, and would have figured they would hate a CFL or NHL team more. Who knew.


FalseCredential

I think there is a fierce rivalry between the Sounders and the Vancouver Whitecaps, but I definitely would have assumed a NHL rivalry for BC.


Somhlth

Exactly. Flames, Oilers, Leafs. Pick one, and the fact that no Canadian province is shown hating the Leafs, quite simply astounds me.


S-Kiraly

If the Leafs were actually a decent team they might be hated more.


Somhlth

> they might be hated more. They're working hard on it, but not by being decent.


TapirTrouble

I'm assuming that the data for this might have been collected before the Kraken had their first season (2021-22). I'm on Vancouver Island, and I've noticed some people wearing Seattle merch because they don't want Vancouver (on the mainland) to be totally uncontested, lol! re: Leafs hatred in Ontario, if they had this broken down by county, they might see some different patterns. I know a lot of people in Hamilton (where I grew up) resented not being able to get an NHL franchise because Harold Ballard and Co. in Toronto were opposed ... a lot of kids at my school wore Detroit or Buffalo, or even Habs jerseys instead.


qqqsimmons

Vancouver hates the Sounders, but I think they are kind of the third wheel. Sounders / Timbers hate is stronger l think and mutual.


beizhia

Maybe there will be some NHL rivalry there once the Kraken are good enough to be hated


Olhapravocever

The relationship between Leafs, Bruins and Habs are like that spider man meme, they hate unite us all


lent12

Every province hates the Leafs the most, including Ontario. And that's coming from a Leafs fan.


Sir_Tainley

No... I think it's more of a comical pity for the Leafs. You just can't hate a team where the players still need their moms to lace their skates properly.


Romanos_The_Blind

BC definitely hates the Bruins more than whatever team we were assigned in this map lol


NinjaMoose_13

I'm in Ontario as well. But I hate the leafs more than anything. Fricken love Boston right now. Hah, again.


Somhlth

I don't think about the Senators at all.


NinjaMoose_13

Fair enough. I hear that lot being one of the 12 Sens fans south of Kingston.


dre5922

I'm in BC and I have never heard anyone mention Seattle Sounders. We really hate the Boston Bruins. And Maple Leafs.


Somhlth

Well I'm in Toronto, and I'm routing for the Oilers or the Canucks. As soon as you are done beating up on one another.


KofiObruni

It's BS. BC is 100% also Boston, and if not it would be Calgary. People don't care enough about MLS.


GaracaiusCanadensis

This poll must have had a disproportionately high number of Southsiders responding for BC.


IQon_256

The state of West Virginia (aka Morgantown) hating Pitt 😂🤣


Low-Guard-1820

Sweeeeet Caroline, EAT SHIT PITT Good times never seemed so good EAT SHIT, EAT SHIT, EAT SHIT


Steve-Dunne

WVU fans are freaking brutal with the verbal assault to rival fans both at the tailgates and in the stands when they play in Morgantown. But the Backyard Brawl is a blast, especially if Pitt remember that they have a football team.


sportstalkcentral

Michigan-Ohio State. Gotta love it


DeadHeadSticker

Colorado State is worth hating?


CopperWalrus

The Wyoming Cowboys (which are the only pro/college team in the state) main rival is CSU. They are in different states but only about an hour drive from eachother


pieterkampsmusic

Everyone else engaging in a full Super Smash melee, while Saskatchewan and Manitoba circle each other with knives


W00DERS0N

Damn, Colorado State wyd?


Bad_Advice_Cat

Rivalry with the University of Wyoming. "The Boarder War", goes back to 1899


turboroofer

lol this map is bs


qqqsimmons

Maybe but I like looking at it. Just seems the hate so funny and pointless but maybe I'm weird


preddevils6

Yes. No way alabama hates LSU more than Tennessee. Tennessee is a historic rival of auburn and alabamas most toxic current rival outside of the state


JonClodVanDamn

When I bartended in Chicago, I couldn’t fucking stand cardinals fans.


Klindt117

I live in Missouri and can't stand cards fans either lol


SuperGlue_InMyPocket

I've lived in Idaho my entire life and have never met anyone (of the 30 people that live in this state) that dislikes Gonzaga. If anything, I see a lot of Gonzaga gear being worn.


MicroAggressiveMe

Yeah I bet it is BYU


Riommar

In Colorado the Raiders are being surpassed by the Chiefs.


otterdisaster

That has always been a neck and neck race. Same for Raiders/Broncos in KC territory.


jfriedrich

Absolutely outstanding that the Calgary Flames, a team based in Alberta, is Alberta’s most hated team. Let’s go Oilers, baby ⛽️


MDCatFan

Dallas Cowboys are more hated in California than the Boston Celtics.


PBS80

Interesting that NJ has the Cowboys listed. I guess because much of the State is Giants fans and there are a lot of Eagles fans in southern Jersey, but I see a lot of people wearing Cowboys apparel by me in NJ.


CapriciousnArbitrary

New Jersey would be the Eagles if we’re talking about North Jersey only but South Jersey people are Eagles fans.


Brick-Mysterious

But both Giants and Eagles fans hate the Cowboys. Unity.


CapriciousnArbitrary

Which is why it’s the Cowboys.


No-Theory7902

There is 0 chance more people in Quebec hate the bruins more the leafs.


sf2legit

Lmao. Nebraska has only played Ou twice in the last ten years


jaykobe18

It’s bs. No one hates Oklahoma in Nebraska.


Sad-Ninja-6528

Canada getting the Alaska treatment


ackeeeeee

In Ontario I think Boston may be the most hated (at the moment) but ya, Montreal may take it when spread across all spots teams.


LysergarmideGuy

Where are the maple leafs 😳


ben_jacques1110

Hell yeah, yall hate New England and we love it!


BeastoftheBlackwater

I ca understand Tennessee hating us (Alabama) but I was surprised to see South Carolina too. I guess Clemson and the Gamecocks hate us more than their rivals? Am I missing something here?


fxm87

i think it's been established that Québec hates the leafs way more than the bruins. we just saw that.


Imustbestopped8732

Why does alaska hate the 49ers?


greenearrow

regional rivalries dominating the Midwest, the way it should be.


Fyeris_GS

I’m from Wisconsin and live in Minnesota. Vikings fans can’t stop talking about the Packers, but we’ve literally never thought of them once.


detectivescarn

Gotta love when your most hated team hates you back just as much


KnatEgeis99

Why the random Philadelphia hate in Texas and NM?


tokamak384

Eagles are a main rival of the Cowboys


lordb4

I guess I am showing my age by I always viewed the Skins/WFC/Commodes as the main rival. Probably sucking for the whole Synder era ended that.


Afitz93

All four Boston teams make the cut for at least one place each. Love to see it.


Lotan95

Do Americans hate their rival teams the same way football fans do? Genuine question


Still_Instruction_82

It’s more of a fun friendly hate.Unless you include Eagles fans those bastards are evil


jord839

As in regularly happening full football hooligan fights and vandalism? Not as much, though some rivalries have hit that point at times (Look up the Battle of the Bay between the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders, which had pretty frequent fights, stabbings, and so on to the point it was actively discouraged by the schedule-makers) and every now and then you'll get a riot, though that's usually a victory riot. That and Philadelphia fans, but they're assholes to everyone, including their own team and Santa. It's usually more of a "I will talk constant shit about you and take active glee in watching you lose" type thing.


laowarriah

BC is completely off base. Hockey dominates over Soccer here. Our most hated most definitely isn't in the MLS. It'll be a rival Canadian NHL team like the Flames, Oilers or Leafs. The Bruins, too, because of 2011.


RachelProfilingSF

Imagine being so completely out of touch with reality that you HATE a sports team. Also, fuck the Steelers I hope they rot in hell


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

Had me in the first half ngl


ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

I would’ve thought Illinois would be the Packers since we have a lot of Cardinals fans in the southern part of the state.


dcamiso9

Massachusetts has all 4 professional sports teams represented on this map. Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox.


BttrcreamSilkVersace

There’s no way that the most hated team in Illinois is the Cardinals. It’s definitely the Packers. White Sox fans don’t care about the Cardinals and there are a lot of Cards fans downstate


QueasyAd3817

Who does Alaska root for in the nfl if they hate the niners?


reknite

Seattle


Takeacelly_9

What in the world did Boston ever do to the Canadian Territories?


Kooky-Kiwi8740

I am from Quebec and i am not quite sure about the Bruins being our most hated team ... I know that since the Nordiques team has fallen most of theirs fan base ( pretty much evry quebec thats not from Montréal region) is converted to Mapple Leaf, Sen's or Boston. I'd be ready to say that Hab's are our most hated team...


karmagettie

I have no clue how the Packers are not more hated then the Cardinals for Illinois.


DustyStar222

I’m just here to show respect for PEI hating a Q team.


Donutordonot

There is zeroooo way falcons are more hated than Alabama in Louisiana.


Waffeln_Remix

Oh good! I knew it was silly to assume anyone hated the Golden Knights.


LuckyLMJ

why is everything split up? There's no reason to leave Canada floating in the middle of the void, and no reason to have Alaska off there in the middle of nowhere either (also why is Canada so small on this map, as a Canadian I feel offended /j)


Brick-Mysterious

Because of it were shown to scale, some of the smaller US states would be really hard to read. Split Canada into 50 sections and the map maker would be forced to adjust it :)


Still-No-Astronaut

For a second, I thought that Idaho hated Georgetown University.


Dman9494

Idaho being Gonzaga is weird, can’t think of any reason anyone here would hate them outside of transplants maybe. Would expect BYU or San Diego State or something.


GeneralAcorn

As an idahoan, that point alone makes this whole thing invalid. There is no way that this state (who is full of catholic, Gonzaga fans up north) "hates" a team who is rival nor competitor to no school from the state itself.


TopProfessional8023

Is that the Florida Panthers on Prince Edward Island?!


Goatmilk2208

Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL.


TopProfessional8023

That would make a lot more sense haha.


PDXMB

Wtf did Gonzaga ever do to Hawaii? Idaho I can understand.


nemom

Um... [The United Mexican States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico).


DreadLockedHaitian

There are two Estados Unidos in North America 😭


KrazyCAM10

Vegas Knights not being on here is shocking. I think the entire NHL outside of Vegas, hates Vegas


Infamous_Smile_386

What team is in the California space?


HeemeyerDidNoWrong

Boston Celtics, but really how many leprechaun basketball teams do you know? I can think of maybe two.


HorsePast9750

Basically wherever there is a rivalry


mdgorelick

Seems surprising that Saskatchewan and Manitoba CFL fans would outweigh hockey hatred. Riders/Bombers is a good rivalry, but…


Suspicious_Clock_607

For idaho who is GU?


Bluebaronn

Gonzaga University. They are in Spokane near the ID border and generally good at college basketball.


kebekoy

Not sure about Québec. The bruins have a fan base of people that dont want to cheer for the Habs. I have never seen anyone that liked the leafs. They would be the most hated team IMO.


bjb13

I can confirm hat people in Oregon definitely do hate the Hucking Fuskies.


Maximum_Future_5241

Ohio doing good.


Herpbivore

I think the NC poll is broken because all the internal schools hate each other.


IQon_256

The hatred for Dallas in the east emanates from Philadelphia. Their hatred is so vast that it encompasses 3 states and DC 😄😂


lordb4

There is plenty of hate coming from the Washington Football fans as well towards Dallas.


ArizaWarrior

Can definitely confirm Indiana is right


soupdemonking

Well, Minnesota is certainly right. Jævla Green Bay. Fy faen. Tennessee. Hmmm. Should almost split the state up. Lots of University of Memphis folks hate the Vols. 🤣 & the UofM Tigers don’t even register on UTK’s radar. Bama or the Gators probably the more hated though because of UTK. And I think Nashville has some teams now, but meh…It’s Nashville, so… ![gif](giphy|vyGIyywQ2oOESRicbl)


Cobbyx

The Nebraska one is just sad


captjackhaddock

Lol Connecticut needs to be split in half between Yankees and Red Sox


nilluzzi

The baseball rivalries are deep and ancient. We still tell the tales of how Tungsten Arm O'Doyle pitched a 16-inning no hitter while Peek-A-Boo Veach invented the bat flip and 4 new slurs to refer to people from southwest Boston


beefstewforyou

As a CFL fan, I’m glad the league has representation here.


Ecstatic_Pepper_8784

Tf I feel like the few bc hokey fans we have left are all Boston haters from the playoff riots


Jive_Turkey1979

For hating the Packers, sure do see a whole lot of Pack gear in Minnesota on fall Sundays

where_the_hoodie_at

I feel like UVA is the most hated team in Virginia


Alone-Affect-3208

As somebody who grew up in Nebraska most hated team is not Ou.. husker fans root for Oklahoma when they would play Cu but Nu fans always denied cu as a rival even though they always rooted against cu no matter who they played once cu got good and won national title


Responsible-Big-3513

Lol Tennessee hates Tennessee

Our_tiny_Traveler

That’s crazy all 8 people in Wyoming hate the CSU rams


Available-Cranberry3

Iowa and Nebraska should be each others most hated


blursed_words

Where's this data from? The Canadian territoires (Nunavut, NWT, Yukon) hate the Bruins? They don't even have a hockey team... I kinda get Québec, not really as the Leafs still exist, but the territories and Eastern Canada are also kind of a mystery to me, a Manitoban. Can confirm we hate the Roughriders. What's PEI's least favorite can't make out the logo?


Burned_FrenchPress

As a Leafs fan, I couldn’t care less about the Habs, but I hate the Bruins (haven’t been the same since ‘13)


Ozzimo

MLS getting a good shout in B.C. Canada. Hate you too, Caps!


lil_redeyes

Feel like they only asked boomers in Nebraska… nobody under 40 hates Oklahoma the most, that rivalry died a long time ago.


Rossum81

I’m so proud to be from Boston.


cybertybo

I'm pretty sure Pennsylvania should be the Eagles.


asscrackula1019

I didn't read the title at first and saw ohio state on michigan and got instantly pissed. Goes to show this map is definitely accurate lol
