The Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team”. But who’s number two on the list?

But which BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, and BASKETBALL TEAMS REALLY ARE THOSE THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED “AMERICA’S TEAM” with the widest/largest fan bases?

ESPN took a look at this and came up with the following MOST POPULAR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS for our benefit:

FOOTBALL

  1. Dallas Cowboys
  2. Green Bay Packers
  3. Philadelphia Eagles
  4. New England Patriots
  5. Pittsburgh Steelers

Guess why this is why we always see these same games on the national broadcasts during Football Season.
