Hell Pittsburgh, Green Bay, or even New York would have more claim to being America’s Team before San Fran.
Raiders more popular than the niners? Lmao is that why they couldn't even keep their stadium here?
They left because of the owner though. Mark Davis was looking for a free handout. Which he got from Vegas.
Are they more popular? Hard to say. But the Raiders are definitely the more popular team in a city like Los Angeles. Likely state wide.
Well they left LA too, so while they may have some fans among gangs, it didn't translate to attendance.
Nor merchandising sales. I would have thought with the black jerseys, they'd be way up there but they're #6. Cowboys are #2, which is also a surprise.
#1? Surprising again.

Of course you have to account for attendance, merchandise sales, TV ratings, especially national games, etc.
Cowboys average over 20k more per home game than other teams, because apparently they have almost 100k capacity with around 20k SRO and they sell those tickets.
They're in a top 10 market and of course they have a long history so they have national/international followings. But so do the Steelers and the 49ers.
