What do the Chiefs and seahawks have in common?
 

Well, according to this study they are the 2 most hated teams outside their own market.. Suprising to me, how about you?

DAMN !

wat

The KC players and staff don't seem thuggish +/or a target to be vilified.

Some of the broken, miserable fans? well... :facepalm:

Most of the venom for us probably from our own.

Well sure, Seattle is understandable. :p But the Chiefs??

its because of the loud stadium nonsense I bet, jealous fans will become haters :P

Cowboys are my most hated team, they're worse than the Raiders.


They still think they're Americas team. I hate that ****in bullshit.

Both teams have fans that start dumbass threads about arbitrary twitter studies?

This doesn't really make sense.

The Twitter venom spewed between Seahawks and Chiefs fans over the "loudest stadium" bullshit heavily skewed the data.

On the east coast nobody cares whatsoever about the Chiefs.

This makes the most amount of sense.

Either that or people were REAAALLY butthurt when we were the last undefeated team in the league.

My thoughts exactly.

I think it's because our teams had the best win loss records most of the year, plus the Guiness noise thing probably annoyed them as it should have.

Hey man, if you don't like my thread GTFO. :)

What's twitter?

I think it's because Seahawks fans and their team are giant ****ing douche nozzles who everybody hates and other fans are insanely jealous of the class exuded by the Chiefs team and its fans.

I know a ton of people that hate Pete Carroll but I would think NE or Dallas could pull akC any day In a hatred poll.

Well there's not much you can hate about the Raiders... They're all in jail.

The data was from the last 4.5 years, so I'm not sure how much the past few months would swing it.

Makes no sense. How can you hate on losers?

Was this a study of just NFL refs or did it include all sports?

Embrace it.

**** the haters.

I blame it on Pete Prisco

ROFL

Yeah, has to be. On every poll-based analysis of this I've ever seen, the Chiefs don't even register on the radar of hated teams.

Kind of an interesting indicator of how sentiment analysis can draw false conclusions, honestly.

Yeah, this makes no sense to me. Shitty teams aren't hated. Especially smaller-market teams in the Midwest. This is supposed to be based on data from the past 4 1/2 years, so anything that happened this season is less than 25% of the time frame.

And so the teams with a negative number--that means there is more positive sentiment about them outside of their market than in it? Who knows how the **** they measured this--it don't make sense to me. The methodology is probably explained somewhere, but I don't care enough to look into it.

Actually, now that I'm reading it more closely, it's a measurement of the DIFFERENCE between in-market and out-of-market sentiment, not overall +/-. In other words, there are two possible impacts of each bar:

1. The team is particularly disliked outside its home market.
2. The team is particularly liked inside its home market.

In other words, the Chiefs and Seahawks may be at the top of the list just because their home markets have been REALLY positive about them.

Either way, it's a tough analysis to draw anything meaningful from.

Ahead of the Cowboys? This study was based on Twitter too? Doesn't really make sense. The seahawks I could understand. They have arrogant guys on their team and are always being busted for drugs or some other shit.

It's basically a poll on how spread out your fanbase is.


If there is a high percentage of the fanbase living in the market area, you will score high like KC and Seattle.


If you have fans all across the country like Pittsburgh, you will score lower.


If you have 5 fans total you will end up like Sandy Vagina.

terrible football. Swing passes. Bend and break defense.

Hopefully we win the SB and they all hate us...fine with me!

dumb

The Cheatriots, Raiders, Giants, Donks, and Steelers are only less "hated" because they have huge bandwagon fanbases that extend beyond their home market, let's be real now.

No truth to this at all. Most fans don't realize that Kansas City has a team.

Never would have guessed that- especially when they get very little exposure compared to other teams like Dallas - even if they are mediocre at best. Also, don't get the opposite end with San Diego- who have like 3 fans that aren't transplants because San Diego virtually made up of every one moving or being stationed there (military).

This must be done on a curve because San Diego Chargers don't even have four fans in their own city.

That would make sense - the Chiefs tv market share during games is ungodly high in the KC metro area. They put up numbers you really don't see since decades ago when people only had typically 3 channel options.

I think earlier this year they had a KC rating share that meant of everyone watching tv in the KC area, 2 out 3 tvs were tuned into the Chiefs game.

Chiefs Seahawks Super Bowl would suit me just fine. Old AFCWest revival rivalry renewed.

It would make a bit of sense after this season. Everybody tweeted how big of frauds the Chiefs were every week.

ESPN's poll is much more realistic than twitter.

That is shocking considering we haven't won shit in years. I tend to hate the dynasty teams the most.

Were number one we're number 1!

Oh wait I guess the Chiefs are really a #2.

That makes a hell of a lot more sense. Chiefs are probably too low on the list though.

So you're telling me that the San Diego Chargers are the most loved team in the United States outside of their own market? Ok.

why would anyone hate the Chiefs? we have Olathe nearby

reeruned

both teams are nationally irrelevant

This.

Especially Saturday Night.

Watching twitter over the weekend it was easy to see lots of Chiefs hate. Most of it is directed at Chiefs fans who the rest of the country see's as whiny little bitches who when things are going well complain about lack of respect and when things go bad just disappear.

Who us????

That sounds about right.
