Why don't more people bandwagon Boston sports?

Like for as much as they win, the Pats don't really have a large nationwide fanbase like the Steelers or Cowboys do.

The Celtics have the 2nd most number of championships but have less fans than the Bulls, Lakers, and even Warriors nowadays

The Red Sox win a lot but have a smaller fanbase than even the Cubs.

Why is that?

>The Patriots don't have a massive bandwagon
Leave it to /patriots bandwagon: the image board/ to be this absolutely delusional
Why don't you faggots start another thread pretending you don't want them to win over something Trump related?
At least own your bandwagoning, faggots

NE boi here. I trigger everyone in the state by wearing a Bruins hat and h8ing Tom Brady.

>>74030918
Ever been there? Not exactly a Portland or LA
>>
>>74030982
Compared to other teams, they actually don't

There are individual bandwagon fans to be sure nationwide, but you have to be kidding yourself if you think its as large as the Packers, Steelers, or the Cowboys.

>>74031185
Nigger pls, success spawns bandwagoners and they've been at it for so long that it's not even close
Everywhere I go there's patriots """fans"""

I started following the Celtics back in like 02 because I liked the logo. I only started following the Patriots in like 2010 because I liked the logo. Had no real idea about either teams past success. I just liked the logos. Live in Kansas btw.

Sue me.

New Englanders are obnoxious dreadful people and no one wants to be associated with all that.
I'm surprised they aren't on here shitposting about how they have the "best" bandwagoners. they prance around pretending Boston is one step away from Heaven and everything there is so great, yet for some reason they all fucking left there to spread their diaspora of grating annoyance across the country.

It's not fun anymore when the local teams are genuinely good and do regularly win championships. Further, Boston is a smaller and rather "specific" part of the country that the average American, even the average American living on the Eastern Seaboard, can't identify with. It's much more fun to bandwagon something like, say, the Spurs or Green Bay or Cleveland or even the Cubs.
>>
>>74033387
People identify with the Lakers and Cowboys and Yankees though.
>>
>>74033427

These teams have been popularized/intentionally marketed in media for decades, and in two cases, they come from "THE. BIG. CITY." which some people like. Boston is a weird A-/B town, not an alpha-dick A+++ town like NY.

Admittedly, in recent decades, Boston has started winning sports that are not basketball, or hockey by dint of being only one of six teams.

Also, people not in New York shouldn't identify with the Yankees, period. I know that some areas without teams of their own do so (just as they default to Cowboys for the above reason) but in the Yankees' case they're wrong for doing so. If you live outside of the New York area and you're a Yankees fan, you're a bad person.

t. eternal props to the Arizona Diamondbacks for shitting on the Yankees' 2001 WS bid just days after 9/11. Kick 'em while they're down.

m8, Boston has fare more international clout than Dallas. NY is on another tier though; a legit global Alpha city
>>
>>74035633
New York: Alpha++
Los Angeles: Alpha
Boston: Alpha-
Atlanta: Alpha-
Dallas: Beta+
>>
>>74035633
On a scale of Minneapolis to NYC, how alpha is your city?
>>
>>74035506
Then why are Bay Area and Chicago teams popular?
>>
Boston isn't too likable.

Read some Bill Simmons.

Since I'm not american, I get to bandwagon them.

Since I'm on the third world, I'll still get a SB LI shirt if they lose.

>>74036633

Chicago is a way for midwesterners to live vicariously through a large and actually relevant (Chicago is a more important city in the United States than Boston, murder spikes and colonial history notwithstanding) city without being forced to go out to the coasts. I myself casually bandwagoned the Cubs these past two seasons (that game seven was /crazy/). Chicago also has a long history of having been the country's second most populous city, hence "second city", but of course this hasn't been the case for decades. Still, it's third banana behind LA just in terms of city proper population.

Bay area? Well, people have to have a secondary population cluster somewhere.
>>
>>74036478
Economically, Boston is in the top 10 globally while Minneapolis isn't. NYC is in 2nd place however, right after Tokyo
>>
OP has a fair point. Some markets just don't attract as many bandwagoners for some reason. I'd say boston has large followings across the board but never the biggest.
>>
>>74035506
Pittsburgh is smaller than columbus. Its literally an oversized town near rivers. Why are the steelers so popular? Pats have 4 super bowl wins while the steelers have just 2 in our modern era

Biggest american franchises of the past decade in the following sports are probably Cowboys, Lakers, Yankees, and Blackhawks. What do all these teams have in common? YUUUGE markets.
