That is certainly true, and I am not trying to argue with oyu on that point. However, it is also true that the BIGGEST supporters of all teams, even the NY Yankees, and the Man U teams of the world still come from people in those cities. And teams like Pitt, and Cincy derive most of their fans FORM those cities.
