political divides of sports team fans

[The Free North]

Yankees fans: old italian guys and latino immigrants (Lean D)
Mets fans: Found on Long Island and Queens 'bridge and tunnel' crowd. Includes more jews and suburbanites (Tossup)

Jets fans: Primarily overlap with Mets fans, a lot of them are in Connecticut, probably lean towards the Queens and LI crowd in NY (Tossup)

Giants fans: More New Jersey types and older NY sports fans (since the Jets were founded in the 60s), probably a more traditional white working class group compared to more suburbanite jets fans (Tilt R)

Rangers fans: Manhattan urbanites and suburban kids from the Hudson Valley and Connecticut (Lean R)

Islander fans: Found obviously more on the Island and Queens (overlapping with Jets/Mets) (Tossup)

Devils fans: Mainly in New Jersey, had wider appeal when they were good in the city, but a more upper class mix of the NJ demo than giants fans (Tilt D)


I dont follow basketball so I cant judge the Knicks and Nets
