There’s a reason they call it Red Sox Nation.
All but four states are rooting for the Boston Red Sox over the Los Angeles Dodger, according to an analysis of Twitter hashtags for the two World Series teams over the last week. The website SportsBetting.ag tracked over 250,000 geotagged tweets and compared the number in each state that had supportive Red Sox hashtags (#dodamage, #redsoxnation, #dirtywater) against the number with supportive Dodgers hashtags (#ladetermined, #gododgers, #letsgododgers).
The Red Sox also won the overall popular vote, 153,124 tweets to 110,388 tweets. In Massachusetts, the count was 39,500 to 650 (the complete state-by state data can be viewed here).
