Had to order the rest.
Why those 3 teams ? Yes Steelers were somewhat close but that wasn't the reason.
It's still that way. I live in Michigan. Along with Lions gear, you will always see Packers, Steelers, Cowboys and Patriots. I think it's because dynasties always lead to picking up bandwagon fans. Kinda like how there were Bulls fans everywhere in the 90s.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
