The 2014 NFL season kicked off this week and Facebook released a timely map depicting football fandom across each state.

The Browns, it seems, are unable to retain fans in more than 50 percent of the state.

What do you think? Is this map accurate? Or do we have closeted Browns fans tucked away in Ohio’s nooks and crannies who’ve declined to share their team love on social media?

  2. Hey wow! No one in Ohio roots for a team that’s sucked ass since 1999? SHOCKING!!! I’d love to see what this map was like in 1993, 1994 though. Probably would be very different.

  5. I Have lived in both Cincinnati and Cleveland. This story couldn’t be farther from the truth. There are browns fans every where down hear. I never once met a Bengals fan living in Cleveland.
