Facebook has been dominating the social network market for the last few years, and will continue to do so in the years to come. They are the biggest and by far has the most users amongst all networks.

In Facebook language, when somebody "likes" a particular page, it is taken as an indication that they are a fan of them, and have been automatically signed up to receive updates on the page that they "liked".

Based on my research, the following table displays the likes for each of the club.

Dallas Cowboys 3,926,551
Pittsburgh Steelers 3,569,645
New England Patriots 2,616,298
New Orleans Saints 2,180,391

Total Likes 35,498,682


As you could see from the above table, that the gap between the largest likes and the smallest likes is an amazing 3.7M. Dallas Cowboys' likes equalls the total of the bottom 9 clubs' likes.

What does mean for the bottom clubs? revenue loss - less global reach - less likes - less positive future?

If the facebook like is an indication of prosperity, brand and great revenue stream then Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots, Saints, Packers and Bears have learnt the trick.

No matter what colour NFL Jersey you wear to support your club, take some time to like them in Facebook.
